Step 1

In a saucepan bring 3 cups water to a boil; add farro. Decrease the heat. Simmer, covered, 30 minutes or until tender; drain. Meanwhile, place a steamer basket in a large pan. Add water to just below basket. Bring water to a boil. Add the asparagus to the basket. Cover; steam 3 minutes or until crisp- tender. Transfer to a large bowl.

Step 2

Add farro to bowl with asparagus. Drizzle with lemon juice while still warm. Stir in almonds, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add greens. Toss to coat. Top with Parmesan.

Step 3

To make the Lickity Split version and decrease the farro's cook time: Cover with water and soak in the refrigerator overnight, then drain and cook as directed. It will take just 10 minutes of simmering to get tender.
