Little Gems, Kale, and Farro Salad
From Lizzie Fuhr, POPSUGAR Food
Notes
I've yet to find a light green goddess dressing that compares to Ellie Krieger's recipe [1]. Ellie's is the dressing I used here, and I highly recommend you follow suit — and enjoy the leftovers all week long.
Ingredients
- For salad:
1/2 cup farro
2 heads little gems, sliced thin
1 bunch lacinato kale, sliced thin
4 radishes, sliced thin
1/2 avocado, diced
- For green goddess dressing:
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 scallion (white and green parts), coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
- Cook the farro according to the package's instructions. It will take about 30 minutes when cooked on the stovetop.
- Slice up the little gems, kale, radish, and avocado, and arrange it all as you please. Either toss together or layer (as pictured), and plate.
- Combine all your dressing ingredients together in a blender, and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add your farro to the salad, and add 2 tablespoons of the green goddess dressing.
- Enjoy immediately!
