Can I use any type of farro?

Yes! Using quick-cook farro saves a ton of time, but any cooked farro will work.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes, but we recommend keeping the cooked farro, dressing, and other ingredients separate from each other. When ready to serve, warm the farro up in the microwave slightly, then mix it with the dressing and rest of the ingredients.

How do I keep kale from being tough and bitter?

You can massage the kale with a little olive oil for 30 seconds to a minute. This will help tenderize it and make it softer in flavor too.

Is this salad better served warm or cold?

It’s great both ways, but we recommend adding the dressing to the farro while it’s still a little warm. This will allow the farro to absorb the vinaigrette.
