Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are great choices for Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Columbia Winery Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Columbia Winery Chardonnay

Columbia Chardonnay offers bright aromas of pear, apple and hints of tropical fruits that extend to the palate. A balanced acidity and integrated sweet vanilla oak notes create an elegant Chardonnay that is distinctly Northwest.

Instructions

  1. In plenty of cold water boil farro until al dente (cooked but with a bite) - about 20-35 minutes. Feel free to add some vegetable scraps if available (unused piece of carrot, onion, celery, etc.)
  2. Drain the farro in a colander & remove vegetable scraps if used. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  3. In a large separate bowl combine the farro with radicchio, nuts & pomegranate seeds. Give it a good mix and season with salt & pepper.
  4. For the dressing: Drizzle over the salad a couple tablespoons of vinegar followed by three times the amount of extra virgin olive oil.
  5. Give it another good mix.
  6. To finish, give it a good shave of fresh truffles, if not available truffle salt or oil works well too. Top with a few pulls of a potato peeler across a wedge of parmesan.
  7. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes up to a day - it needs a little time for it to all come together.
  8. Before serving - give it one last good stir, taste & adjust the seasoning - making sure the dressing is balanced (not too vinegary or oily).
