Farro Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing

Step 1

Cook farro - Bring about 3 cups of salted water to a boil, then add the farro and simmer for around 15 minutes until tender, but still chewy. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Roast sweet potato - Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel and diced the sweet potato into 1/2 inch pieces, and add to a sheet pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat in the oil, then spread into an even layer and bake for around 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

Make the dressing - In a small-medium bowl, add all sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add a few tablespoons of warm water if it seems too thick.

Step 4

Mix - In a large bowl, add the farro, sweet potato, and all other salad ingredients. Pour the sauce over the salad and toss until well combined.

Step 5

Chill and serve - Cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!
