I like to eat a salad every day, but I don’t like to eat the same old salad every day. I like to mix things up so I am not bored. My current favorite salad is this Roasted Grape and Farro Kale Salad. The flavors are insanely delicious. I might break my rule and eat this salad every day this week. It is that good! I don’t think I will ever get sick of this kale salad.
The salad is simple, but the flavors are incredible. The salad is made up of:
kale roasted grapes farro candied pecans feta cheese balsamic dressing
Have you tried roasted grapes? Talk about about a game changer. Roasting the grapes brings out the best flavor. The grapes get caramelized in the oven and they become extra sweet and juicy. You are going to LOVE them in this salad. Farro is another winner in this salad. Farro is an ancient, whole grain, that is is nutty, chewy, and a great source of fiber and protein. It does have gluten so if you are gluten-free, you can use quinoa or brown rice instead. It really bulks up the kale salad making it hearty enough to eat for lunch or dinner, or you can serve it as a side dish to any meal.
I made a TON of candied pecans for Christmas and have a few jars left in our pantry so I added them to this salad and it was the best decision ever. If you don’t have candied pecans, you should make them..ha, they make the salad extra special. That sugary crunch is crazy good. You can use regular pecans, walnuts, or almonds, but you will be missing out, just a little bit:) I used feta cheese, but goat cheese or blue cheese would be good in this salad too. The balsamic dressing is easy to whisk up and is the perfect finishing touch to the salad. You are going to love this Roasted Grape and Farro Salad. It feels kind of fancy so it is a great salad for entertaining or you can eat it every day because you deserve a little fancy in your life every day, especially when fancy is super easy!
