Kale Caesar

Ingredients

For the Tahini Caesar Dressing

Instructions

Cook the farro on the stovetop according to package instructions. I usually measure 1cup of dried farro to ⅖ cups of chicken broth and simmer until the liquid has just been absorbed. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

 

For the dressing: Blend all the dressing ingredients besides the olive oil in a food processor. Slowly stream in the olive oil until the sauce is smooth, emulsified, and resembles a caesar salad dressing consistency. 

Toss the warm farro on the kale and mix together with toasted walnuts, cheese, and enough dressing to coat. Enjoy!

Ingredients

For the Shrimp
For the Dressing

Instructions

Heat your grill (or skillet) on medium-high. Season the shrimp with oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. Once the grill has heated, place the shrimp on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes a side until pink. 

Meanwhile, husk the corn. Next, rub the corn with olive oil and grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning every so often so it chars evenly. Season with salt and pepper (optional to season with the smoked paprika as well). Let cool, and then remove the kernels from the ears using a knife.

Cook the nectarines. Using a knife, cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Drizzle the flesh with oil. Place flesh side down onto an oiled grill and cook the peaches for about 4-5 minutes until it gets grill marks. Remove carefully with a spatula and tongs.

Make the dressing: Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl.

To assemble: In a large salad bowl, toss the arugula with the diced avocado, corn, and enough dressing to moisten. Top the salad with seared peaches, torn burrata pieces, and grilled shrimp.
