Print Recipe

Warm Farro Salad is a hearty and filling grain salad with chewy farro, earthy kale, fresh herbs, plus savory and sweet notes, thanks to sun dried tomatoes and dried cranberries. Made in just 20 minutes, it’s a must-make easy fall side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the warm farro salad:

  • 1 cup uncooked semi-pearled farro
  • 1 bunch lacinato or dinosaur kale, finely shredded
  • 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
  • 2 sprigs thyme, de-stemmed
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened dried cranberries
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 sprig thyme, de-stemmed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the salad:

  1. Prepare farro according to package instructions. 
  2. While the farro cooks add kale, rosemary, thyme, sun dried tomatoes, and dried cranberries to a large bowl. 
  3. Prepare the dressing (instructions below).
  4. When the farro is done cooking, add to the large bowl with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle the dressing on top and serve warm. The kale will wilt slightly leading to a more tender bite. Enjoy warm or refrigerate and enjoy all week cooled.

For the dressing: 

  1. In a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, vinegars, maple syrup, mustard, spices and herbs.
  2. Whisk dressing (or shake container vigorously) until uniform consistency forms.
