    I'm not a big dill person, so I was a little hesitant when I found it, but it ended up being great. The vinegarette was excellent and I read the reviews and made this the day before and then let it sit out for a few hours to come to room temp. Next time I'm going to cut the eggplant and onion smaller than a "thick slice", I thought the onion chunks were a little overwhelming. Still great and tasted excellent three days later (what can I say...I like leftovers.

    Easy to make and change the grain for all those friends with gluten allergies. Grains tried to date include pearl barley and wild rice. Sorry Bobby, I cheated by using a store-bought ready-made vinaigrette. Tastes even better the day after. Definitely would make it a day in advance.

    Delicious! I made this recipe last night, and I cannot wait to go home and eat my leftovers! Since the I made the salad last night, I bet the flavors have melded together and will be even better tonight! There were only a couple things I did differently. I didn't have any farro on hand, so I substituted it with quinoa. I also added a splash of lemon juice to brighten up all the flavors. I will definitely make this again before the summer is over!

    Great salad. I cut way down on the oil and upped the vinegar. The result is very tasty, although I had to add a little more vinegar to leftovers to up the moisture. I also didn't have dill, so I used fresh basil instead. Very pretty served over salad greens. Will definitely make again.

    This was very easy to make and came out delicious. I forgot to add the fresh dill to the dressing but added it in to the farro later and I only used about 2/3rds of the dressing which turned out to be more than enough.

    I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this salad is nice. Every part of it comes together. The dressing is my favorite part.

    This is one of the best marinated salads ever!! My first recipe with farro, and I love it! Used the Japanese eggplant and tomatoes from my garden, which made it even more delicious. Mahalo Bobby!

    Just made this and it is delish! Didn't have Sherry Vinegar, so I used a Herb's De Provence Vinegtarette from Whole Foods... I also cooked the farro in chicken broth instead of salted water... Very yummy salad and healthy too! I cannot wait to serve it at my next gathering..
