A farro and butternut squash salad is being prepared. This salad is hearty, filling, nutritious, and tasty. Although it is simple to prepare, it will greatly improve your Thanksgiving meal!
This salad, which I have been continuously preparing, must be included in your Thanksgiving dinner. Although that may have seemed rather exaggerated, this salad is very amazing.
Farro, cranberries, pecans, kale, butternut squash, red onion, and a creamy maple balsamic vinaigrette are included. Before combining with the kale, the butternut squash, red onion, and farro are cooked to soften the kale and warm the entire salad.
If you have never tried a warm salad, you should do so immediately because you are missing out. Excellent and comfortable.
