Warm Roasted Vegetable Farro Salad

October 5, 2016 by Medha 28 Comments

Oh, roasted veggies. What did I do before I knew about roasted veggies?

I used to only cook veggies by sautΓ©eing them in canola oil, without a lick of seasoning. No wonder I wasn’t exactly a huge fan.


Now, I’m all about roasted veggies.

In fact, most of my meals at home are comprised mostly of roasted veggies and tofu. There’s just something about the crisped-up charred quality of roasting vegetables that is incomparable to waiting for them to sponge up oil in a pan for 20 minutes.

This salad celebrated roasted vegetables by complementing them with nutty farro and walnuts, and assertive, tangy goat cheese and kalamata olives. The mellow and brighter additions to this salad make it unusual and oh so delicious.

Also, what’s better than a salad that has cheese and grains in it?!?

Not only is this dish totally packed with flavor, it also boasts an impressive array of colors. The flavors were inspired from the first time I had farro, in a salad rather similar to this one. It was way back when I was touring colleges (seems like ages ago!).

Since then, farro has been a favorite of mine, and for good reason. It’s heartier and more flavorful than rice, but easier to prepare! Just one more reason why you should definitely put this warm salad on your ‘to make’ list.

    Aren’t roasted veggies the best? I love how crispy and flavorful they are. I’ve never tried them with farro, though! What a great salad, Medha! I think this could be my meal just about everyday!

    I’ve just started using faro as the main grain in risotto — and I love it! I am going to try this dish and learn different ways to incorporate this grain into a part of my daily meals!

      It’s the best! I also love experimenting with grains in risotto- so far I’ve done barley and Israeli couscous, but farro is definitely next πŸ™‚
