- Meanwhile, rinse the farro and place in a medium saucepot. Add 2 cups water, the cider, bay leaves and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, 15 to 30 minutes. Drain and cool.
- Whisk together the oil, vinegar, Dijon, honey and orange zest and juice in a large bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add the farro, roasted squash, arugula, parsley, pistachios and Parmesan and toss until everything is well incorporated.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the squash and red onion on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to coat well and spread out on the baking sheet so they don't steam. Roast, tossing halfway through, until the squash is fork-tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Put the raisins in a shallow bowl and pour the vinegar over them. Soak, tossing them every now and then, for at least 15 minutes. Drain the vinegar into another small bowl, pressing down on the raisins to squeeze as much vinegar out as possible. Add mustard, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste to the vinegar. Drizzle in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Whisk until thick and emulsified. Set aside.
- To assemble the salad, in a large bowl, add the farro, chicken, cheese, walnuts, raisins, squash and red onions, kale, dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss together until evenly coated with dressing. This is one of those salads that gets better as it sits.
FARRO, BUTTERNUT SQUASH, AND ARUGULA SALAD
Feeling stressed? Eat this salad. No seriously: Farro has a high magnesium content, which can help relieve tension. It's also really high in fiber. Butternut squash is often found pre-cut in supermarket produce sections, and starts popping up at farm stands toward the end of the summer. This recipe is also delicious in the fall using pumpkin or other autumn squash varieties.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the farro according to the package instructions and let cool.
- Put the raisins in a shallow bowl and pour the vinegar over them. Soak, tossing them every now and then, for at least 15 minutes. Drain the vinegar into another small bowl, squeezing the raisins to remove any excess.
- Meanwhile, put the squash and shallots on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil over them. Toss well with your hands to coat. Season with salt and pepper and roast, tossing halfway through, until the squash is soft and the shallots are beginning to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Whisk the mustard into the reserved vinegar. While whisking, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream until thick and emulsified. Season the dressing with the cayenne and salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the salad, in a medium bowl, toss the farro, squash and shallots, raisins, cheese, and walnuts together until combined. Pour the dressing over the salad, season with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated with dressing. Just before serving, fold in the arugula and finish with a final drizzle of olive oil and a final crack of black pepper.

This warm fall salad is great with grilled or roasted chicken. Grilled lamb chops would also pair beautifully due to the addition of feta and fresh mint.

Steps:
- Toss the brown butter with the butternut squash. Roast the squash in a 425 degree F oven until just tender and brown on the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the farro in boiling, salted water, until just tender (a slight chewiness is desirable in farro), about 10 minutes. Drain the farro, toss with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Combine the cranberries, brown sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, allspice and orange zest and juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries are bursting and their juices have slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
- When you are ready to serve the salad, place the farro in a large serving platter, scatter the roasted squash, mint, arugula and feta over top. Drizzle with the cranberry vinaigrette and some olive oil.
