Ingredients
  

Farro Salad

  • 1/2 cup farro
  • 1 1/3 cups vegetable broth
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 delicata squash sliced with the seeds removed
  • 2 tbsp. avocado oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 medium apple thinly sliced or diced
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup walnuts roughly chopped

Dijon Vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F. 
  • In a small saucepan combine the vegetable broth, farro and salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low with the lid on for approximately 30 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, drain any excess liquid and let cool.
  • While the farro is cooking, wash and slice the delicata squash. Toss with avocado oil and salt and place on a baking sheet so that all of the squash pieces are flat. Bake for 15-20 minutes flipping halfway through.
  • Start by adding the arugula to a large serving bowl, top with farro, squash, diced apple, pomegranate seeds, feta, and walnuts or pumpkin seeds.
  • Combine all of the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and whisk together until combined. 
  • Pour over the salad and enjoy! 

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, however, if you want to prep it ahead of time I recommend keeping all of the ingredients separate until you're ready to eat it.
