Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes until tender. Let them cool, then peel and cut into wedges.

  2. 2

    Cook the Farro

    In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the farro and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the farro is tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Spiced Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Add olive oil, honey, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the walnuts and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Apples

    Core and slice the Apple Hill apples into thin wedges.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted beet wedges, cooked farro, and apple slices. Add the spiced walnuts on top.

  6. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with additional olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
