Ingredients
For the salad:
- 1 red grapes heaping cup
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup farro
- 1 kale ribs removed and finely chopped, bunch
- 1 cup pecans can use regular pecans, walnuts, or almonds, roughly chopped, candied
- 1/2 cup feta cheese goat cheese is good too, crumbled
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic minced
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the grapes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until grapes are blistered and caramelized.
- While the grapes are roasting, make the farro. Place 1 cup farro in a fine mesh sieve and rinse with cold water. Drain. Transfer to a medium sized pot that has a lid. Add 3 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, until it is softened but still chewy. If there is liquid remaining in the pot, drain it off. Fluff the farro with a fork and let cool to room temperature.
- To make the dressing, in a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup or honey, mustard, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place chopped kale in medium bowl. Add the roasted grapes, cooked farro, candied pecans, and feta cheese. Drizzle with dressing and toss well. Serve immediately.
- Note-if you don't have farro, you can use quinoa or brown rice in this salad.
