Tender farro, nutrient dense kale, tart cranberries, creamy goat cheese and a delicate lemon herb dressing. It’s healthy and irresistibly delicious!

INGREDIENTS

·         2.5 C of cooked farro

·         7 oz of curly kale, chopped (about 2 Cups)

·         1/2 C dried cranberries

·         1/4 C chopped walnuts

·         1/4 C roasted and shelled pumpkin seeds (I use Super Seedz lightly salted)

·         3 oz goat cheese (chèvre)

·         3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

·         3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

·         1 tsp honey

·         1 tsp chopped thyme

INSTRUCTIONS

1.   Place the cooked farro in a large mixing bowl.

2.   Make the dressing - whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and chopped thyme together.

3.   Place the chopped kale in another bowl and toss it with the dressing. Massage the kale with your fingers to tenderize it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.

4.   Add the marinated kale, dried cranberries, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and goat cheese to the bowl with the farro. Mix together and it's ready to serve.

NOTES

I used these instructions for cooking the farro - stove top method.
