Summer Pea, Watermelon and Farro Salad

This tasted wonderful! I loved how the flavors of the watermelon and cheese complimented each other!

1 cup farro or wheat berries
1 cup petite peas; frozen
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup watermelon; cubed
1 cup parsley; coarsely chopped
1/3 cup pecorino romano cheese; shaved

Rinse farro or wheat berries. Place in saucepan with about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and simmer for about 1 hour. (to desired tenderness). In the meantime, defrost peas. Place in colander. Drain and rinse farro and rinse with cold water (over peas that are defrosting); drain. Combine farro, peas, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add watermelon cubes and parsley and gently toss to combine. Top salad with cheese.
