Swaps and substitutions

For a dairy-free version, swap the ricotta salata for a firm vegan cheese or extra toasted nuts for salty richness. To make it nut-free or wheat-free, leave out the almonds and replace the farro with quinoa or brown rice.

What to serve with it

Serve it as a hearty lunch with roasted chicken, salmon, or a simple lentil soup for extra protein. A crisp green salad and crusty bread round it out nicely, and a chilled white wine or sparkling water fits well.
