Ingredients

4 Servings

1 cup semi-pearled farro
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium acorn squash (about 2 lb.), sliced lengthwise into 1” wedges, wedges halved crosswise
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon tahini (sesame seed paste)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
4 small radishes, trimmed, very thinly sliced
4 cups baby kale or arugula
4 ounces feta, thinly sliced
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°. Cook farro in a medium pot of boiling salted water until tender but still al dente, 30–35 minutes; drain and set aside.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toss squash and 2 Tbsp. oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until soft and browned, 20–25 minutes. Let cool slightly.

    Step 3

    Whisk tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, and remaining 4 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add farro, squash, radishes, and kale and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Top salad with feta just before serving.
