Farro And Swiss Chard With Grapefruit Vinaigrette Recipes

FARRO AND SWISS CHARD SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium size skillet and add the chard stems. Cook, stirring often, until the stems are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the chopped blanched or steamed Swiss chard leaves, add salt and pepper to taste, and stir the mixture until the chard is coated with oil, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the farro, walnuts and parsley to the bowl. When ready to serve, toss with the dressing. Arrange on a platter or in a serving bowl.

GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE WITH GREENS OR BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Squeeze 1/2 of the grapefruit. Measure out 1/3 cup of juice and place it in a small saucepan. Add the honey or agave and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to 1/4 cup and remove from the heat. Whisk in salt, vinegar, and the oils.
• Cut away the peel and pith from the remaining grapefruit half. Cut the sections away from the membranes that divide them and chop fine. Stir into the vinaigrette.
• Steam the broccoli for 4 minutes and transfer to a platter or to plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the florets and serve.
