    METHOD

    TO MAKE THE GLAZED PECANS
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all of the ingredients. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the pecans are coated with the maple mixture.

    Place the pecans on a cooling rack lined with parchment paper.


    TO MAKE THE SALAD
    Bring the farro and water to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot partially with a lid, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the grains are cooked.

    Toss the farro and mesclun in a large serving bowl. Arrange the apple and pear slices in a circular pattern on top of the salad, followed by the dried cranberries and glazed pecans.


    TO MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE
    All the ingredients should be whisked together until emulsified. The vinaigrette should be served on the side.
