Step-by-Step Instructions for Fall Farro Salad
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add the farro. Cook until tender, about 25-30 minutes, then drain and cool slightly.
- Dice the butternut squash, toss with olive oil, dried sage, marjoram, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until fragrant and golden. Set aside to cool.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine spinach, cooled farro, roasted butternut squash, diced apple, dried cranberries, and toasted pecans. Toss gently to mix.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated. Garnish with pepitas and crumbled vegan feta. Serve warm or chilled.
