2. In a salad bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
3. Add farro, cheese, and pistachio nuts, and mix well. This salad base will keep for up to 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator (bring to room temperature before serving). Just before serving, fold in arugula, herbs, tomatoes, radish, and flaky salt to taste.
