How to make Hearty Farro Salad with Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the farro: Rinse farro under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine farro with vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess liquid and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast the vegetables: Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard until emulsified.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked farro and the roasted vegetables. Pour the dressing over the farro and vegetables, tossing gently to combine.
- Stir in the fresh chopped basil. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano or crumbled ricotta salata if desired.
