Steps:
- First, boil the Farro in salted water according to the packaging instructions. If the cooking time is 1.5/2 hours, you can opt to cook it in the pressure cooker with 3-4 cups of water at max pressure for 40 minutes (no pre-soaking required).
- Cut the bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant in slices about 1/4 inch thick (1/2 cm), then lightly brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the vegetables on a cast iron grill pan or barbecue, then transfer them to a plate to cool down.
- Chop the grilled vegetables into smaller chunks and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the quartered cherry tomatoes and season them with olive oil, and salt.
- Add the cooked and drained Farro to the bowl, and the grilled vegetables. Season again to taste with olive oil and salt. Mix well with a spoon.
- Add the mini mozzarella balls and fresh basil leaves. Give it another stir and serve room temperature or cold.

SUMMER FARRO SALAD WITH BURST TOMATOES & CHARRED VEGGIES
A veggie-loaded summer salad with light + bright flavor & hearty texture is probably one of my all-time favorite meals, & this Summer Farro Salad with Burst Tomatoes & Charred Veggies completely fits the bill. It's wholesome, filling, & its flavors are so summery! If farro is a new-to-you ingredient, you're in for such a treat. Farro is an ancient whole grain - a distant relative to modern-day wheat - with a nice rich & nutty flavor. What makes farro really special, though, is its bouncy texture - it is pleasantly chewy & so hearty. I love tossing it into salads to easily bulk them up & make them more satisfying. If you cannot find farro, wheat berries are the closest substitute, though I'd happily swap it for quinoa, pearl couscous, or pasta in this particular salad recipe. Once the farro is cooked, simply toss it with chickpeas, burst cherry tomatoes, & char-grilled bell peppers & zucchini, then drench it all in a zingy white balsamic vinaigrette. This summer farro salad is great enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or cold, & leftovers keep beautifully so it's a great summer meal prep recipe. Be sure to check the Recipe Notes, below, for meal prep tips & the blog post, above, for serving suggestions & quick variations!

Steps:
- Prepare the grill for medium-high direct heat grilling, about 450-500 degrees F. Once preheated, clean the cooking surface by firmly brushing a wire brush over the grates. (If you do not have access to an outdoor grill, you can also preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.)
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Add the farro and boil 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until your desired al dente texture is reached. Drain & immediately rinse with warm water. Drain well, then transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, as the farro cooks, prep the vinaigrette. Combine all listed ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired. Whisk or shake to combine. Taste and season with additional kosher salt or ground black pepper as desired. Pour the vinaigrette over the warm farro & toss to combine. Set aside. Alternatively, you can also cover the vinaigrette & store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Thread the cherry tomatoes on skewers, then place them on a small baking sheet or large plate with the sliced bell peppers & zucchini. Drizzle the oil over top, season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & ground black pepper as desired, then use your hands to ensure the veggies are coated well. Place the seasoned vegetables directly on the grill grates, ensuring the tomato skewers & zucchini are positioned perpendicular to the grill grates to help prevent them from falling through the grates as they cook. Grill vegetables until as softened & charred as desired - tomatoes will grill in about 2 minutes per side, while bell pepper & zucchini need 3-4 minutes per side. (Be sure to check out this A-Z Grilled Veggie Guide for veggie-specific grilling tips!) Remove from the grill, transfer back to the small baking sheet or large plate, & squeeze the lemon juice over top.
- Once the veggies are cool enough to handle, chop the bell pepper & zucchini into bite sized pieces. Drop the tomatoes into the mixing bowl with the farro, along with the chopped vegetables, chickpeas or white beans, & fresh basil. Toss to combine. Taste & season with additional kosher salt & ground black pepper as needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. Enjoy!

GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND FARRO SALAD
This superfood salad uses the ancient whole grain farro as its base, it has a nutty flavor and satisfying chew (not to mention eight grams of fiber per serving). To compliment and add texture to every bite, stalks of asparagus are grilled, chopped, and tossed in along with lemon zest, almonds, fistfulls of dill and scallions, and briny feta cheese. Great on its own as a vegetarian meal, this recipe can also serve as a formidable co-star to any grilled chicken dish.

- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the farro and stir constantly for about 5 minutes until the farro is fragrant and toasty. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a boil and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occassionally. Taste the farro at 20 minutes to determine if it's done - it should not be mushy but have a nice chew to it. Drain completely (reserve the vegetable stock for another use) and place in a bowl (or on a large baking sheet to speed things up.). Bring to room temperature.
- In the meantime, grill the zucchini and red peppers. Heat your indoor grill or outdoor barbecue to medium. Brush the vegetables with oil, and grill for 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcook the zucchini - remove it from the grill while it's still semi-firm. When cool enough to handle, dice the vegetables into 1/4 inch pieces. For larger zucchinis, you may wish to omit the centers and seeds. You should have about 2 cups of zucchini and a cup of peppers.
- Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic and herbs. Pour over the cooled farro and toss to coat. Stir in the grilled vegetables. Add salt and pepper, to taste. At this point, the farro mixture can be covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
- To serve, toss the farro mixture (chilled or room temperature) with the arugula. Spread about 1/3 cup of hummus on one side of each plate or bowl, and serve the salad on the other side of the plate/bowl with some covering a bit of the hummus. Sprinkle with dukkah, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, if desired.
