Ingredients

Farro

  • 1/2 cup farro, pearled
  • 1 1/4 cup vegetable stock, unsalted

Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 4 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Salad

  • 6 stalks kale medium-sized, washed and dried, leaves only, torn into small pieces
  • 1/2 red onion medium, finely chopped
  • 1 cup parsley packed cup, flat leaf, washed and dried, finely chopped
  • 2 avocados small, cut into small chunks
  • 1 cup lentils, canned, drained, not mushy
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives whole
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Directions

Farro 

  1. Add the vegetable stock and farro to a medium pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (usually takes about one minute). Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the farro is tender (al-dente)
  2. Remove from the heat, transfer the cooked farro to a broad flat platter, and spread it out, so it doesn't clump while you work on the salad ingredients. Allow the farro to cool. 

Apple Cider Dressing 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, salt and black pepper.  

Salad

  1. Add the kale and mix well with the tongs, making sure the kale leaves are coated with the dressing
  2. Add the farro, onion, parsley, avocados, lentils and olives to the bowl and mix everything until combined. Serve at room temperature, topped with chia seeds. Enjoy!
