NYT COOKING’S BIG SALAD WITH GRAINS
Soots Cook Nook, Private
An earthy, hearty salad of dinosaur kale, romaine lettuce, farro, roasted chat potatoes and sweet potatoes, raw celery, fennel, radishes, avocado, boiled egg, chives, and toasted walnuts. As I slogged my way through the extensive meal prep, I couldn’t help thinking that, with this many ingredients and this much effort, it had better deliver big on both flavor and satiety. By golly, it did. Even my initial reservations about eating raw kale quickly disappeared. The Lemon-Dijon Herb Vinaigrette tied everything together beautifully—bright enough to lift the vegetables yet with enough body to stand up to the hearty grains and kale. All in all, a delicious superfood bonanza in a bowl.
