This salad is one of the best ones I've ever had with grilled vegetables. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is the ingredients might be hard to find. I had some farro (spelt berries) given to me by a friend so that's why I decided to make this. Also, they had gorgeous fresh dill in the market and baby eggplants and organic tomatoes. I did the veggies in the oven, more of a roasting really, although I used the broiler. I added a green pepper because I had one I needed to use up. Bobby Flay has such a knack! I was skeptical, but the grilled veggies and dressing really compliment the earthy farro taste and texture. Worth the trouble to find this grain in the health food store and grow fresh dill or snatch it up at the market. Worse comes to worse, make it with yummy toasted bulgur wheat. BTW, it takes a lot of water to cook the farro, I used four cups and simmered it for about an hour. Broth would have been even better. It's kinda like risotto.
Loved it!

I made this salad for a dinner party recently, but couldn't find farro so I used quinoa instead. I also added lemon zest to the vinaigrette, and it turned out amazing. I am making it for Thanksgiving tonight, as it tastes better the day after you make it. Delicious!
Outstanding

This was terrific. I added some grilled mushrooms and red pepper. Also added some parsley. The farro is a little hard to find. I got it at Whole Foods. I will make this again!

This grain is fantastic and has become a favorite for family gatherings. Although I have taken a slightly different approach.I use my Italian version. For the vinegrette I used the juice of one fresh lemon mixed with olive oil, salt and pepper. To the salad,I added 3/4 cup of toasted pine nuts, 3/4 cup of capers, 1/2 cup chopped flat italian parsley, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh thyme. It is simply deliciouso. I challenge you to eat only one serving ! It is simply that fantastic !
Great Salad

This was a good salad, but not great. It does taste much better at room temperature.

The dressing for this salad comes together so quickly and it can be used for so many things it's light and crisp. this salad is a great summer BBQ favorite.
Pretty Good

I couldn't find farro at my grocery store, so I just used white rice, which turned out well. Everything was really good, but the vegetables were a little bland, and the dill dressing was a little too strong with the dill. Next time I would probably season up the veggies a little more and cut back on the dill in the dressing. Other than that, this recipe was great. My family really enjoyed it.
