Move over, quinoa bowls<\/a>, you\u2019ve got some competition! This light and refreshing kale salad recipe features another awesome grain: farro. It\u2019s rice-like in texture and has the same calories and protein as quinoa, but with less fat and more calcium<\/a>. (Booyah!) Farro’s nutty flavor pairs perfectly with salty, toasted pistachios (a heart-healthy<\/a> nut) and kale massaged with a tangy Dijon vinaigrette. Since kale is relatively sturdy, you can dress your salad right away and eat it up to two days later with no risk of soggy greens. Make-ahead lunch has never been more enticing.<\/p>\n
