Vinaigrette
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salad

- 2 teaspoons almond butter or natural peanut butter
- ½ bunch Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn (about 2 cups)

- ½ small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise on a mandoline
- 2 breakfast radishes, thinly sliced lengthwise on a mandoline

Recipe Preparation
Vinaigrette
Whisk oil, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl to combine; set aside.
Salad
Cook pecans and oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until nuts are darkened in color, 5–7 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop so you have a variety of sizes, with some pieces almost pulverized. Set aside 2 Tbsp. nuts for serving.
Whisk almond butter and 1 Tbsp. vinaigrette in a medium bowl to combine. Add kale and massage dressing into leaves with your hands until evenly coated; season with salt and pepper.
Toss fennel, zucchini, radishes, cauliflower, tomatoes, watercress, farro, and remaining pecans in a large bowl with remaining vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper. Add kale and toss to combine. Drizzle with oil and serve topped with reserved pecans.
