KALE & BACON SALAD WITH HONEY-HORSERADISH VINAIGRETTE
Totally scrumptious and packed with nutrition, this salad was my response to friends who asked how they could incorporate kale into their diets without sacrificing taste. It is also wonderful made with collard or mustard greens, prepared in the same fashion as the kale, or with a mix of spinach & arugula or watercress. -Elizabeth Warren, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

- 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.
Tips:

- If you don't have an apple on hand, you can substitute another crunchy fruit like a pear or celery.
- To make the salad more filling, add some cooked chicken or shrimp.
- For a vegan version of the salad, omit the bacon and use a plant-based dressing.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and chop the vegetables and fruit. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, assemble the salad and toss with the dressing.
