This simple salad is creamy, crunchy, and packed with flavor. Kale gives this salad hearty bulk while the arugula provides a light peppery flavor to the background. Farro, an ancient grain with a slightly nutty and chewy texture, provides the salad with a contrast of texture and filling whole grains. Creamy feta and crunchy almonds round out the salad to perfection. Top with a simple, homemade Citrus Salad Dressing to bring all the flavors together.
