An easy and healthy salad of crispy shaved brussels sprouts, farro, hazelnuts, dried cranberries and goat cheese.
Ingredients
- ½ cup uncooked farro (85 grams)
- 3 cups brussels sprouts , shredded (250 grams)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ⅓ cup hazelnuts , chopped and toasted (45 grams)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries (28 grams)
- 1 ounce goat cheese , broken into pieces (28 grams)
Instructions
- Cook the farro in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Cook the brussels sprouts (without stirring) until the edges begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir the brussels sprouts and cook for another 2 minutes until cooked but still firm. Stir in the balsamic vinegar.
