Gialina's Kale & Farro Salad with Avocado

This vibrant kale and farro salad is a wonderful showcase of textures and fresh flavours. The earthy, nutty base of cooked farro pairs perfectly with the slight crunch of sliced spring carrots and the creamy richness of ripe avocado. A punchy, herb-infused dressing made with tarragon, parsley, and Moscatel vinegar ties everything together, transforming simple Tuscan kale into a sophisticated vegan dish that feels both light and deeply satisfying.

Ideal as a healthy weekday lunch or a colourful side dish for a weekend gathering, this salad is packed with nutritious whole grains and leafy greens. The dressing can be made in advance and kept in the fridge, making it an excellent option for meal preparation. Serve it at room temperature to allow the aromatic herbs and zesty vinegar to truly shine.

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground pepper

How to make Gialina's Kale & Farro Salad with Avocado

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.
