    Rinse and drain the dried farro. Transfer to a medium-sized pot and add water or chicken broth, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for about 25 minutes, until it is tender but still chewy. Drain then spread the cooked farro on paper towels to cool. In a large bowl, combine arugula, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, red onion and cooled farro. For the dressing, mix all ingredients in a blender or container fixed with a tight lid until well-emulsified. When ready to serve, pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until coated well. Garnish with cheese and almonds. Serve chilled.
