Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Dressing
1 stalk green garlic, white and light green parts, chopped, or 2 cloves garlic, chopped
Leaves from 1/2 bunch tarragon
Leaves from 1/2 bunch Italian parsley
1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Moscatel vinegar (see Note)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Salad
2/3 cup farro
1 bunch Tuscan kale (about 10 ounces)
1 to 2 avocados, cut into large dice
2 spring carrots, peeled or scrubbed and sliced into thin rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, place all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, or use an immersion blender to blend all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • To make the salad, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook until tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water until cool, then drain well.
  • Remove the stems from the kale. Cut away any tough ends, then finely slice the stems and tear the kale leaves into small bite-size pieces. Place both the stems and leaves in a large salad bowl. Add the avocados, carrots, and farro. Add half of the dressing and toss to combine. Add more dressing if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, diced
1 cup farro, rinsed
2 sprigs oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Juice of 1 large lemon
Juice of 1 orange
1 small bunch Tuscan kale, stemmed and finely shredded
1/2 cup dried cherries or 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Put the walnuts in a small, heavy-bottomed skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely on a small baking sheet.
  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the shallot and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots have softened and are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the farro and toast in the olive oil, stirring often, for about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in 2 cups water, the oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the farro is cooked through and tender, about 25 minutes. Remove the oregano sprigs, drain the farro, and set aside.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the warm farro and toss to coat. Add the kale, cherries, cucumber and walnuts and toss to combine. Crumble in the goat cheese, toss gently just to mix and serve.
