To enhance the flavor of this already flavorful salad, be sure to save and drizzle any residual meat juices from resting over the salad.
Instructions
For the dressing, purée nectar, lemon juice, oil, apricots, parsley, honey, garlic, Dijon, and zest in a food processor; season with salt and pepper.
For the salad, toss thighs in 1 cup dressing in a shallow dish; marinate 15–30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook farro according to package directions.
Toss farro with ¼ cup dressing; season with salt and pepper.
Heat a double-burner grill pan or grill over medium-high. Brush grill pan with oil. Cook thighs until charred and a thermometer inserted into the thickest parts registers 165°, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer thighs to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes.
Toss arugula with remaining ¾ cup dressing in a serving bowl; arrange farro, thighs, goat cheese, pistachios, and parsley on top.
