1 cup uncooked farro, rinsed
Cook the farro: Fill a medium pot half full of water and bring to a boil.
Add the farro, reduce the heat and simmer until the farro is tender, chewy, but still has an al dente bite - 15 to 20 minutes for pearled farro; 20 to 30 minutes for semi-pearled farro; up to 40 minutes for whole farro.
Drain, then spread onto a large plate or sheet pan to cool and dry for 20 minutes.
This keeps it from continuing to steam which makes it mushy.
Make the lemon herb dressing: Mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper in the bottom of a large mixing bowl.
Add the farro and toss.
Stir in the parsley and red pepper flakes, if using.
Season to taste and serve.
