Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil + 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1.5 cups semi-pearled farro
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 bunch kale washed and roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp high-quality vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard

- raw vegetables, chopped (tomato, cucumber, onions, garlic, etc.)
- kalamata olives
- feta cheese
- herbs, chopped (parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, etc.)

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add farro, stirring frequently, 3–5 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to simmer, cover and cook about 30 minutes. Remove cover, add kale, and cook until most of the moisture is absorbed. Transfer farro to large serving dish.
- Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, and dijon mustard, set aside.
- If grilling vegetables, halve and core peppers, and slice zucchini and eggplant 1/2-inch thick and grill over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes per side. Remove from grill, chop, and toss with farro.
- Toss in remaining raw veggies, olives, feta, herbs, and S&P to taste. Add vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature (or cold as leftovers).
