Ingredients | Sweet Kale Salad Dressing Recipe¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil¼ cup pure maple syrup¼ cup apple cider vinegar2 teaspoons white sugar½ teaspoon salt¼ cup chopped walnuts2 ½ cups chicken broth or vegetable broth1 cup farro½ teaspoon dried oregano½ teaspoon dried basil1 cup chopped tart green apple¾ cup dried cherries2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsleyDirectionsWhisk oil, maple syrup, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.Cook and stir walnuts in a small skillet over low heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.Bring chicken broth, farro, oregano, and basil to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Transfer farro to a glass bowl and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes more.Mix walnuts, green apples, dried cherries, and parsley into farro. Drizzle dressing over farro mixture and toss to coat; refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.I have also substituted celery or jicama in place of the apple; it adds crunch and color but prefer the apple for taste.Vegetable broth can be substituted for chicken broth. Honey can be substituted for maple syrup.For this recipe, use par-boiled Italian farro or spelt.Info | Sweet Kale Salad Dressing Recipeprep:
