FARRO SALAD WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES, RED ONION, AND GOAT CHEESE



Farro Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Red Onion, and Goat Cheese image

I love me a farro salad! The hearty grain is an amazing base for all sorts of veggie combinations and it's super convenient to work with since you can cook it several days ahead. I tend to follow a loose formula: farro plus roasted veggies, a bright herb, a crunchy nut or seed, some creamy cheese, and a zingy dressing. Here, sweet potatoes and red onions caramelize gorgeously in the oven, while the earthy goat cheese and zippy vinaigrette balance out the sweetness. Feel free to play-roasted beets or winter squash would be lovely, as would hazelnuts, almonds, or feta.

Yield Serves 4

1 large sweet potato, unpeeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick (12-mm-thick) rounds, large rounds halved
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) wedges
4 tablespoons (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more as needed for serving
Salt and freshly cracked pepper
3/4 cup (150 g) dried farro
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 radishes, thinly sliced on a mandoline
1 small handful fresh dill, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Spread the sweet potato rounds and onion wedges on a baking sheet, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, shaking the baking sheet halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Cook the farro according to the package directions. Drain.
  • In a medium bowl, season the warm farro with the vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper. Add the sweet potato, onion, radish, dill, pistachios, and goat cheese. To finish, drizzle the salad with the lemon juice and sprinkle with smoked paprika, flaky sea salt, and pepper. If the dish seems a little dry, drizzle it with extra oil.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHILE DRESSING



Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chile Dressing image

Start with sweet potatoes, which are in season, beautiful and cheap, and roast them with red onion and olive oil. Roasting instead of boiling makes a huge difference: not only do you get a rich, smoky flavor, but the peeled exterior is toughened a bit so that the potatoes stay intact when tossed with the other ingredients. You can serve this sweet potato salad warm or at room temperature; it's great both ways.

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, preferably red, chopped
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt

Juice of 2 limes

Roast, turning occasionally, until potatoes begin to brown on corners and are just tender inside, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven; keep on pan until ready to mix with dressing.
  • Put chilies in a blender or mini food processor along with garlic, lime juice, remaining olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Process until blended.
  • Put warm vegetables in a large bowl with beans and bell pepper; toss with dressing and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a day.
