1 cup uncooked farro

1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed +halved

1/2 cup Farm Fresh Nuts Raw Georgia Pecans

 chopped

1/2 cup Farm Fresh Nuts Raw Pumpkin Seeds

1 cup pomegranate seeds

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, divided

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp dijon mustard

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place brussels sprouts on a lined baking sheet and coat with olive oil and 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt.

Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly charred.

Meanwhile, cook the farro according to package instructions (generally 1:2 ratio).

On the stovetop over medium-high heat, place pecans and pumpkin seeds in a skillet and cook until slightly browned. Watch carefully as they burn easily.

In a large bowl combine farro, pecans, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds and brussels sprouts (once they’re done cooking).

In a small bowl combine balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and dijon mustard and stir to combine.

Top dressing onto salad and stir in salt, pepper and dried thyme.
