To cook the farro, add drained farro to a medium-sized pot with a lid and cover with 3 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until tender. If any water remains, drain and place in a large bowl
While Farro is cooking, combine asparagus, olive oil, salt and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet and mix to combine. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes or until deeply golden brown.
To make salad dressing, in a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil and honey until emulsified. Add salt, pepper & buttermilk and stir to combine. Mix in herbs.
To assemble - top farro with roasted asparagus, raw shaved fennel, feta cheese and corn nuts - add enough dressing to coat and toss. Serve immediately.
