farro white beans roasted and green vegetables salad

I just made a huge salad based on this, with a lot of modification, and it's very good.  And it's really huge so I'll be sharing a lot.  I'll eat it for breakfast throughout the week.  

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup farro, cooked
  • 2 large carrots cut into matchsticks
  • 2 large leeks in1/4" slices 
  • crushed red peppers
  • olive oil
  • small head radicchio, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped (I used roasted red pepper)
  • 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (I used sundried tomatoes, maybe 1/4 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • fresh parsley
  • fresh thyme (or dried)
  • juice of 1 lemon  
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 cup salad greens (I used erba stella)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta 
  • nuts for serving 

Cook farro.  Toss carrots and leeks with 1 T oil and some red peppers, roast at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. 

Into large bowl: radicchio, pepper, tomatoes, beans.  Add roasted vegetable and farro.

Into small bowl: lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, thyme.  Stir into vegetables.  Add greens and cheese. 

I sprinkled with some pistachios, will also be good with chopped almonds or pecans.
