Honey Roasted Carrot Farro & Kale Salad

• While farro cooks, trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack for 20 minutes (you’ll finish the carrots in step 5).

• Meanwhile, zest and halve lemon (for 4 servings, zest and halve one lemon; cut remaining into wedges). Pick parsley leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Finely chop chives. Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop leaves into bite-size pieces. • In a small bowl, combine juice from half the lemon and 1 TBSP hot water (2 TBSP for 4). Add cranberries and set aside. • In a separate small bowl, whisk together sour cream, ranch dressing, chopped parsley, chives, a squeeze of lemon juice, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4), and a pinch of lemon zest to taste. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Place kale in a large bowl. Add a drizzle of oil and a squeeze of remaining lemon juice; season lightly with salt. Massage leaves until tender, 30-60 seconds. TIP: Don’t skip this step—massaging helps the kale leaves wilt slightly, lending a tender (never fibrous!) texture. • Add drained farro and soaked cranberries (draining first). Season with salt and pepper. Add as much dressing as you like and toss to combine.

• Once carrots have roasted 20 minutes, carefully remove sheet from oven. Top with honey, walnuts, and chili flakes to taste. Carefully toss to coat. • Return to top rack until carrots are tender and glazed, 2-3 minutes more.
