We love farro here, but this salad would also work well with other chewy whole grains like sorghum, spelt, wheat berries, barley, or even quinoa.
Salad:
½ pound Brussels sprouts, halved
1 medium sweet potato, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 cup farro
1 can navy beans (or other white bean), rinsed and drained
¼ cup pecans (or walnuts)
¼ cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese (or blue cheese)
Dressing:
2 tablespoons fresh or frozen cranberries
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
