Ingredients

For the salad

2 cups cooked farro
1.5 cups shredded chicken
1 small head radicchio thinly sliced, about 4 cups
2 valencia oranges peeled and segmented
⅓ cup walnuts roughly chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh mint

For the dressing

½ cup orange juice freshly squeezed or from a container
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt more to taste

Instructions

Cook the farro according to package instructions to yield 2 cups.
Cook and shred the chicken. To boil chicken breasts, add them to a large pot and add enough water (or chicken broth) to cover them. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a rapid simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken breasts from the pot. Shred with two forks on a cutting board.
While the chicken and farro are cooking, prep the other ingredients. Slice the radicchio, prep the oranges, chop the walnuts and mint, and crumble the feta. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing until coated. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Add a squeeze of orange or lemon juice before serving to freshen up the salad if desired.
Prep the farro and chicken in advance to save time.
If you want this salad to be vegetarian, omit the chicken and add a can of beans.
