A quick & healthy farro bowl packed with figs, kale, and goat cheese. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) cooked farro
  • 2 large handfuls chopped lacinato kale
  • 4 figs
  • 1-2 tablespoons crushed toasted walnuts

Instructions

  1. Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
  2. Divide farro among two bowls.
  3. In a mixing bowl, massage lacinato kale to tenderize it with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil until coated and pliable, about 1-2 minutes. (If using baby kale, no need to massage).
