By Leslie Blythe Apples, Cheese, Salad, Salad Dressing Boiling, Simmering
December 15, 2020 My husband had this Chopped Salad with Medjool Dates, Manchego & Farro salad at a restaurant called True Food Kitchen. You can add salmon to the top to make it more of a meal. I am in love with this salad, mainly because it has so many textures. It calls for Marcona almonds, but I used toasted slivered almonds instead.
Farro is a food composed of the grains of certain wheat species. Because it contains more fiber than other popular grains like rice or even quinoa, farro might have even more positive benefits when it comes to digestion and cardiovascular health. It's also exceptionally high in protein for a grain and supplies more than 10 different vitamins and minerals. Prep: 20 mins Cook: 25 mins Yields: 6 - 8 Servings Ingredients 1 cup farro, well-rinsed ⅓ cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped ⅓ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup jicama, diced
