Ingredients

  • 1 cup farro *uncooked
  • 3-4 cup cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp dill
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp cracked pepper
  • 3-4 cup kale chopped/stemmed
  • 4 slices halloumi
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley

Dijon Maple Dressing

  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • ⅛ tsp salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400º. Chop the cauliflower into bite size
    pieces and place in a large bowl. Drizzle oil and seasoning over the
    cauliflower, mix well. Lay cauliflower flat on a parchment paper lined
    cooking sheet, and roast in the oven for 15-25 minutes or until desired
    doneness, I prefer it browned and lightly crisped. While cauliflower is
    cooking, prepare the farro according to package. This typically
    takes about 10-15 minutes.
  • Blend or whisk all ingredients together (maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, salt/pepper, oil, dijon) to make dressing, set aside. Slice onions thinly, chop fresh herbs and stemmed kale, set aside. If you are topping with fried halloumi, heat pan on medium/high heat LIGHTLY spritz with spray oil, place sliced halloumi in the hot pan and sauté/fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until the cheese is browned and crisped.
  • Let the farro or grain cool from cooking. In a large bowl, mix farro, chopped kale, sliced onions and dressing. Toss well. Top with halloumi or any other topping and fresh herbs. Serve and enjoy! 

Notes

*If you want to meal prep this salad or make ahead of time, keep the dressing off of it until ready to serve. 
*top with chicken, salmon or shrimp if you would like extra protein.
