Ingredients

  • 3 Delicata squash halved and cleaned
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 8 oz. baby arugula
  • 2 cups farro cooked according to package instructions
  • 1/2 cup walnuts toasted and chopped

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, add remaining olive oil to the pan.
  • Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes.
