This Farro Salad is good at any time of the year, but best in summer when fresh corn is at its peak.

- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup thinly sliced fresh basil or to taste

Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the corn and sauté until just crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, add the onion and sauté for 2 - 3 minutes more, or until the onion is soft. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked, and cooled Farro along with the radish. Add the corn and onion, toss lightly. Add the lemon juice and mix well; then add the remaining olive oil, mix well.
