This was outstanding for dinner, and very filling. We didn't have kale so we used fresh baby spinach and arugula mix. Otherwise we made it exactly as written and we've saved it to our favorites.

This sounds divine and I'm really taken by the idea of the chilli pepitas. I am saving it for when summer comes around again for us and the strawberries are sweeter (and cheaper!). One of my favourite summer time salads involves mango, avocado, spanish onion (very finely sliced), toasted pine nuts, baby spinach (but you could use any green leaf) and hot chorizo all drizzled with vino cotto.

Hi Ishanthi, Wow – that salad you describe sounds divine! I love that it plays on a lot of the same flavors as this strawberry salad. I actually think mango might be great in lieu of strawberries here (while we wait for them to come back into season).

Really looking forward to trying this! (Everything's better w/ bacon, isn't it?) One of my long-time favorite summer salads is strawberries & tender arugula drizzled w/ aged balsamic & topped w/ coarsely ground pink pepper.

Hi Judith, Did you try the recipe and it didn't work out for you? Or do you just not think it's sounds like a good idea? I take my feedback here seriously and want to keep things constructive. A reader who made the recipe really loved it, as did I: https://food52.com/recipes/36383-farro-kale-and-strawberry-salad-with-bacon-and-chili-dusted-pepitas#comments
