2-1/2 cups Water
2 ears Fresh Corn

1
Rinse the farro in a colander. Add the water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the farro and turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes or until farro is tender. Drain of any excess water and allow farro to cool.
2
While the farro cooks, preheat the grill to medium-high. Shuck the corn and then sprinkle with cumin. Grill the corn for 6-8 minutes, turning so that all sides cook evenly. Remove from the heat and carefully cut the corn kernels off of the cob.
3
Combine the cooked farro, grilled corn, pepper, scallions, tomatoes, beans, and cilantro in a large bowl. In a small bowl combine the lime zest, tequila, lime juice, oil, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
4
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix. Chill until ready to eat. Serve at room temperature. Delicious with grilled chicken or as a meatless main course.
