Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Dressing
1 stalk green garlic, white and light green parts, chopped, or 2 cloves garlic, chopped
Leaves from 1/2 bunch tarragon
Leaves from 1/2 bunch Italian parsley
1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Moscatel vinegar (see Note)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Salad
2/3 cup farro
1 bunch Tuscan kale (about 10 ounces)
1 to 2 avocados, cut into large dice
2 spring carrots, peeled or scrubbed and sliced into thin rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, place all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, or use an immersion blender to blend all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • To make the salad, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook until tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water until cool, then drain well.
  • Remove the stems from the kale. Cut away any tough ends, then finely slice the stems and tear the kale leaves into small bite-size pieces. Place both the stems and leaves in a large salad bowl. Add the avocados, carrots, and farro. Add half of the dressing and toss to combine. Add more dressing if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the right kale: Choose young, tender kale leaves for the best flavor and texture. Look for leaves that are deep green and free of blemishes.
  • Massage the kale: Before dressing the salad, massage the kale with your hands or a massage tool. This helps to break down the tough fibers and make the leaves more tender and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to avocado, this salad is also delicious with other toppings such as cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, roasted nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Make it a meal: Add some grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp to the salad to make it a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers properly: Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This kale salad with avocado is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of greens. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is a great choice for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings.
