How to Prepare Kale Salad With Farro, Golden Raisins and Walnuts [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium saucepan, combine the farro with 4 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, partially covered, until the farro is tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the farro and spread it on a baking sheet to cool.
Massage chopped kale with a drizzle of olive oil and set aside.
Meanwhile, place the walnuts in a pie plate and toast for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled farro, kale, walnuts, olives, scallions, chives, raisins, crushed red pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, agave syrup and season with sea salt as needed.
Toss until well combined, serve at room temperature and enjoy!
