Warm Farro Salad with Roasted Root Vegetables
This Warm Farro Salad with Roasted Root Vegetables is a flavorful and comforting dish packed with healthy veggies and nutritious farro. Chewy and nutty farro marries beautifully with roasted butternut squash, carrots, and red onions. Add the pistachios and cranberries for a little crunch and pop of color, and toss the salad with an easy homemade salad dressing. I like to toss in the crumbled goat cheese too, but feel free to omit it if making this vegan.   Â
This salad starts out by roasting the vegetables with olive oil, salt and black pepper. In the meantime, prepare the farro: Bring the broth and water to a boil and add the farro. Simmer until tender, then drain any extra liquid and transfer the farro to a skillet. Add the spinach and garlic and sauté until the spinach just wilts. To make the dressing, combine the ingredients in a mason jar and shake to blend well. Assemble the salad by combining the cooked farro with roasted vegetables, chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, and goat cheese. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Eat warm and enjoy!
