This Beet & Kale Farro Salad is a hearty, nutrient-packed grain bowl that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. Earthy roasted beets, chewy farro cooked in bone broth, and tender massaged kale get tossed in a vibrant homemade beet juice dressing made with RW Knudsen Organic Beet Juice. Topped with salty crumbled feta and crunchy toasted pepitas, it’s the perfect make-ahead lunch or easy weeknight dinner — just add your favorite protein. I created this recipe in partnership with RW Knudsen.
