1½ c./250 g. farro
½ c. walnut halves
½ c. olive oil
½ c. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
2 c./65 g. coarsely chopped Kale (stems removed)
1 c./50 g. Radishes very coarsely chopped– about 4 large

Instructions
Cook farro according to the package directions until tender but firm, not mushy. (For Semi pearled, add 1 ½ c. farro to salted boiling water, reduce heat, cook about 20 minutes, drain. Keep in mind the brands vary in cooking times.)
On a baking sheet, toast walnut halves at 375° for 8-10 minutes until slighter darker and coarsely chop.
While farro is cooking, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Drain farro and place in large bowl. Add ½ of the olive oil/lemon juice dressing. Let cool for about 20 minutes.
Add chopped kale, radishes and more of the dressing to the farro and combine. Add the dressing a little at a time until you have the amount appropriate for your taste.
Salt and pepper amounts are merely a place to start. Add more to suit your taste.
Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in fridge for at least 1 hour.
Add walnuts and cheese before serving.
