A note about serious food allergies

If you're looking for a kōan or sutra that explains “Green Goddess Buddha,” you can stop now. Put away the theology books and open up the cookbooks, because nirvana is just a bite away with this healthy and, aha, green bowl. Kale, apple, and cucumber mix with a delightful green goddess sauce you'll make yourself. Add cashews for a soft salty hit, and farro for your grain, and you've got yourself your own moment of zen. Not so much an “om,” but most definitely “yum.”

  1. 1

    Cook the Farro

    Bring a small pot with farro and 11/2 cups water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender, 18-22 minutes.

    Drain farro in a wire-mesh strainer (there may not be any excess water). Return to pot and season with 1 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

    While farro cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem kale and coarsely chop.

    Quarter apple and remove core. Cut into 1/2" dice.

    Trim cucumber, quarter lengthwise, and cut into 1/4" pieces.

    In a mixing bowl, make green goddess dressing by combining sour cream, pesto, and 1/4 tsp. salt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Cashews

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cashews to hot, dry pan and cook until lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes.

    Immediately remove cashews to a plate to prevent burning.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Cook the Kale

    Return pan used to toast cashews to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil to hot pan.

    Add kale and stir occasionally until wilted, 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in peas and cook until peas are warmed through, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner and season with 1/4 tsp. salt and pepper.
