Instructions
For the Sweet Potato
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Dice the sweet potatoes into half inch cubes and toss with oil, salt, pepper, and curry power. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and charring.

Cook farro according to package instructions. Combine the farro and liquid in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover until the liquid has been absorbed (about 15 minutes).
For the Dressing
In a food processor combine all the ingredients. If the mixture is too thick, add water to thin. Taste for seasoning and adjust the maple syrup/salt/pepper accordingly.
To Assemble
In a large salad bowl, toss the lettuce with enough dressing to coat. Top with the cooked grain, roasted sweet potato, sliced avocado, and cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and extra drizzle of dressing-enjoy!
