Farro Roasted Vegetable Salad

Author Foodtastic Mom

Ingredients

  • 1 c. farro cooked according to package directions
  • 1 small head cauliflower cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 T. canola or grape seed oil
  • 1 T. curry powder
  • 1 t. salt
  • 2 apples
  • 1/2 c. lightly salted cashews
  • Bottled good-quality balsamic vinaigrette dressing I used a fig variety

Instructions

  • Once farro is drained and cooled, store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. I found farro in the rice section at my Kroger store and cooked it according to package directions.

To roast the cauliflower and sweet potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss the cauliflower and sweet potatoes with the oil, curry powder and salt. Spread in an even layer over a large, rimmed sheet pan. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring a couple of times during cooking.
  • Allow vegetables to cool and store in the refrigerator, same as the farro.

When ready to serve one salad

  • Place about 1/2 cup of farro and 1 cup of the roasted vegetables in a bowl. Top with about 1/3 of a fresh apple (grated or sliced thin). Top with about 2 tablespoons of lightly salted cashews (I crushed mine in a plastic bag to make the pieces smaller). Then dress with 1 - 2 tablespoons of your store-bought balsamic vinaigrette. Stir and eat.
