Farro Kale and Olive Salad

A powerhouse of superfood and fiber, Farro Kale and Olive Salad is easy to make and full of texture! Creamy, crunchy, and chewy with notes of citrus. Make ahead for several days of a ready-made lunch. This recipe is vegetarian, optionally vegan and gluten free.

Greetings loves. I hope this finds you well and your week hummin along… smoothly. It’s almost the weekend! The only downside to this weekend is Daylight Savings.

Why a downside?

We’re going to lose a whole hour of luxurious sleep. Or luxurious happy hour… however you look at it. Which one would you rather give up?

Ingredients of the Farro, Kale and Olive Salad mostly laid out in bowls on a table

More citrus? Why yes. Even if it’s in the vinaigrette. Gotta get it in there somehow.

Let’s talk farro, shall we? I’m stepping out of my regular brown rice box in an effort to try some new (to me) grains. I recently discovered farro and am excited to share with you what I’ve learned.

It’s delicious in salads, soups, stews, and can be subbed for brown rice in any dish. It’s an ancient whole grain prized for it’s earthy, nutty flavor and chewy texture. Some say all other wheat varieties are from farro, the original ancestor.

Farro is high in fiber, iron, magnesium, B vitamins, and protein. As a bonus, it’s easy to digest.

Olives sliced and walnuts chopped on a chopping board with knife. Kale in a glass bowl and massaged with some dressing.

Farro is similar to wheat berries, but wheat berries are chewier and take longer to cook. Totally worth it. Wheat berries are much more economical than farro, however, at $.03/oz versus $.29/oz (woah, I know!). If you can find farro in bulk, the price is more reasonable, yet still expensive. I’ve made this recipe with both and love them just the same.

This Garbanzo Summer Salad with creamy dill dressing is made with wheat berries. Pin it or bookmark it because it will be in season soon. It’s one of my favorites on Vanilla And Bean.

Ingredients of the Farro, Kale and Olive Salad in a large mixing bowl ready to be mixed and surrounded by a wooden spoon, dressing, and parsley.

Farro Kale and Olive Salad can hang out in the fridge for up to 3 days after it’s made. It’s sturdy, and the flavors get better with an overnight rest in the fridge. This salad is a flavorful side or a delicious lunch and would be a welcome addition to any potluck.

I sometimes grab a small bowl for a late afternoon snack; you know, that 3:00 time frame? I’m hangry!

Have you tried farro? If so, what is your favorite way to use it?

Author:Traci York | Vanilla And Bean
A powerhouse of superfood and fiber, this kale and farro salad is easy to make and full of texture! Creamy, crunchy, and chewy with notes of citrus. Make ahead for several days of a ready-made lunch. This recipe is vegetarian, easily vegan with a gluten free option. | Use Farro or Wheat Berries in this recipe. If using Wheat Berries, look for hard red winter wheat berries - they take longer to cook than Farro. If using pearled or semi pearled wheat berries, they won't take as long to cook as hard winter wheat berries - start checking these varieties at about 20 minutes. Cook until tender yet have a chewy texture.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 C (210g) Farro or Wheat Berries (look for hard winter wheat berries) *See Note for GF Option
  • 4 C (860g) Water add 1 C (215) more water if using wheat berries (add more water if needed to keep the grains covered)
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 3/4 C (85g) Walnuts
  • 6 oz (170g) Green or Black Olives 1 can, drained and pitted (I buy pre-pitted)
  • 1/4 C Flat Leaf Parsley rough chopped
  • 1 Bunch of Lacinato Kale about 15 stems
  • 1/2 C Feta crumbled or diced (optional)
  • Ground Pepper to taste

For the Dressing:

  • 2 Tbs Olive Oil I use California Olive Ranch
  • 1 tsp Small Orange zested, about 1
  • 2 Tbs Fresh-Squeezed Orange Juice 1 small orange, I used a mandarine
  • 1 tsp Lemon zested, about 1
  • 1 Tbs Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice about 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 tsp Stone Ground Mustard
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

For Garnish:

  • Wedges of orange and lemon for squeezing over salad.

Instructions

For the Salad:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
    Time for cooking either variety of grain can depend on age of grain.
    For Farro: rinse the farro under running water. In a 4-quart saucepan add the farro, 4 cups of water and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to simmer for about 30 minutes, uncovered. Test the farro, it should be tender, yet have a chewy texture. If needed, give them a little more time to cook. Drain off excess water through a strainer, then run cool water over the farro in a strainer. Strain well. Transfer into a large mixing bowl and cool in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes , stirring every 5 minutes or so as to cool it down quickly.
    For Wheat Berries: rinse the wheat berries under running water. In a 4 quart saucepan add the wheat berries, pour in add 4 C water and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, turn down heat to simmer, cover and cook for about 1 hour. Start checking the berries at about 40 minutes to see if they are as soft as you prefer. If not, keep them cooking another 15-20 minutes.
    Pour off excess water through a strainer, then run cool water over the wheat berries in a strainer. Strain well. Transfer into a large mixing bowl and cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so as to cool it down quickly.
  • Toast walnuts in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Cool then rough chop. Add to mixing bowl with farro or wheat berries.
  • Slice the green olives in quarters and add to mixing bowl along with the chopped parsley.
  • Destem the kale by removing the ribs. Roll all the leaves together and chiffonade into thin 1/4" ribbons. Place the kale in a large bowl (separate from the other ingredients), pour 2 Tbs of dressing (see below) over the kale, set a timer for 2 minutes, and massage the kale. This technique tenderizes the leaves. Add to the mixing bowl with all the other ingredients.
  • Add the feta to the mixing bowl.
  • Combine all the ingredients, mixing throughly, adding dressing every few stirs until all the ingredients are throughly mixed. Taste for seasoning adjustment.
  • Set a bowl of orange and lemon wedges along side the salad for juicing to enjoy extra citrus flavor.
  • Store in a lidded container for up to three days.

For the Dressing:

  • Add olive oil, zest, orange and lemon juice, mustard and salt to a small jar, lid and shake until emulsified.

Notes

    Traci, you just gotta move to Arizona and then you won’t have to deal with daylight savings time!! Unfortunately, my computer doesn’t know that it is in AZ though because it magically changed times this morning and sent me into a spiral of confusion! I LOVE olives and this salad looks awesome!! It has all my favorites in it and your photos are so bright and beautiful! Feta, olives, and lemon are the best :)

    And I’m all about the citrus right now too so this salad looks heavenly to me! I love farro and the idea to make it with feta and olives. Sounds so tangy and delicious!

    I don’t like turning the clocks ahead either because it means the mornings are darker again! I’ve been loving how light it is by 7 am lately so I’ll be sad to see that go for now.

    This salad looks wonderful though! Farro is actually one of the few grains I haven’t tried yet. I’ve thought about buying it, but I already have like 20 other kinds of grains in my pantry so I figured I should use some of them up first. I’d love to try this salad with brown rice though!

      You must be an early riser? Yeah, IDK, I like it both ways, early and late sun. Summer is pretty incredible up here in the Pacific Northwest. The sun comes up around 4:45 and sets close to 10:00 at night! Pretty long days and perfect for days filled with summertime activities!

      Oh, you’ve gotta give farro a go, Chelsea. You’d like it! But until you’ve whittled down your pantry staples, brown rice would be an excellent alternative. Try short grain for this salad! :D

    Hey friend! I am clearly not in the minority when I say how lovely your citrus dressing sounds! Such a bright and beautiful complement to the earthiness of this salad. And you may know feta and walnuts are a favorite combination of mine! Really, any cheese with walnuts! Incredible photos, once again!

      Citrus is such a delight! I put it on/in just about anything while it’s in season. It’s just so refreshing.

      Walnuts and feta – yes! They are sooo good together and are a nice complement of crunchy and creamy and just fit with olives.

      No apology needed, Annie. I appreciate your feedback! Thank you, love. :D

    Thank you for the reminder of Daylight Savings — I forgot all about it! Traci, your photos are luminous and those signature ingredient shots, just gorgeous. I will definitely do a pinning session on these lovelies. There is nothing about this salad that I don’t love – wholesome and nourishing – but my affection for olives runs long and deep so I am tickled to see their inclusion here. Apparently, I acquired a taste for olives before language ;-) asking for ‘little bits’ shortly after walking. I see we’ve gone from massaging kale to chiffonading it :D — debonair indeed.

    Wow, I had no idea that wheat berries were that much cheaper than farro! Faorro sure is one of my favorite grains because I love its chewy texture. I toss it with some soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetables, and it becomes such a delicious meal! Definitely need to try your version! Pinned!

      Yeah, I didn’t know either until I ran out of Wheat Berries and 4 stores I went to, looking for them, didn’t have any. But, one store had farro. After looking at the price and throwing a small fit in the grocery isle, I bought a bag. I was happy to try it, but wow! The price is high. Next time I find wheat berries, I’ll load up! I love the idea of tossing farro with soy, sesame and veggies. Delicious! Thank you for your pin! :D

I’ve never added orange to my dressing – I usually just add lemon but looking forward to switching it out with a bit of orange as well. Beautiful photos, Traci!

    I’m always looking for new kale recipes (I’m just going to make my morning smoothie with kale). Love the freshness and combination of flavors in this one! Pinned to try it! Beautiful and bright pictures Traci!

    I love farro! I tend to do a pilaf and add toasted walnuts or pecans, dried cranberries or cherries, and some Roquefort. Oooh, how I would love to share a bowl with you and turn you loose with the camera to get your beautiful photos of that farro creation as well as this beautiful one!
