3 tablespoons olive oil

Meanwhile, cook farro according to package directions. Drain and cool slightly.
In a large serving bowl, toss farro, roasted vegetables and walnuts. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar and toss to coat. Add goat cheese.

Doesn't this recipe have an awful lot of fat in it? I mean, I charge myself 100 calories for 1 tablespoon of walnuts; this recipe has 16 = 1600 calories. It also has 6 tablespoons of oil = 720 calories, plus 1/4 cup of goat cheese = 400 calories. That's 2720 cals, divided by 6 is 453 cals per svg - 11/21/14

This is a favorite salad/main dish -I skip the oil and use misto spray to roast butternut. Sometimes have added beans to this too, less walnuts to keep calories a bit lower. I have had walnut oil in past and if I would happen to have any would probably add a couple teaspoons for the flavor it has. - 10/15/14
