Salad

Step 1

For the salad: Preheat oven to 400°. On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast until golden brown, about 35 minutes.

In a medium saucepan, combine the farro and 3 cups water. Bring the water to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer about 30 minutes, or until the farro is just tender. Drain the farro. In a bowl, toss the cooked farro with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potato, cooked farro, radishes, feta, apple, lemon juice and black pepper to taste.

Dressing

Step 1

For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar and mustard.
Step 2

In a large serving bowl, combine the kale and greens. Top with the farro salad. Sprinkle with the herbs and sunflower seeds. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
