Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the farro and cook, uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold water until slightly cooled.
Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; cut into 1-inch pieces. Roughly chop the peppers. Roughly chop the walnuts. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sour cherry spread, mustard, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion and green bean pieces. Cook without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat. To the bowl of vinaigrette, add the cooked farro, cooked vegetables, arugula, chopped peppers, chopped walnuts, and currants; toss to combine. Serve the salad topped with the goat cheese (crumbling before adding). Enjoy!
