Ingredients
- 1 cup farro
- 1 bell pepper cut into large pieces
- 1 zucchini sliced into 1/2" planks
- 1-2 small summer squash sliced into 1/2" planks
- 1 medium red onion peeled and sliced crosswise into 1/2" planks
- 2-3 scallions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons herbes de provence optional
- prinkle of salt and pepper
- 1 cup feta cheese you can use crumbled feta, but in this recipe, I like bigger chunks of cheese, cut into ½" cube
- ½ cup kalamata olives halved
- 1 lemon about ¼ cup juice, zested and juiced -- add more lemon juice to equal ¼ cup or add white wine vinegar to make up the difference.
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint julienned
- ¼ cup fresh basil torn
Instructions
- Cook farro according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and allow farro to cool completely.
- Heat grill to a medium high heat (about 400-425 degrees)
- Brush vegetables with olive oil. Lightly salt and pepper them.
- Add vegetables to grill, being sure to lay them perpendicular across the grates, so they don't slip through. If you have a grilling rack or basket, you can use that. Grill on each side about 4-5 minutes, until slightly tender, but still firm with a nice char on them. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board or baking sheet. Allow vegetables to cool for a few minutes before handling them.
- Cut vegetables into ½ inch dice and transfer them to a large bowl.
- To vegetables add farro, kalamata olives and feta cheese. Toss to combine.
- In a glass measuring cup add lemon zest, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil and dijon. Whisk to combine. Pour dressing over the salad. Add fresh herbs. Toss to combine. Serve.
Notes
- If you're not serving this salad immediately, don't add the fresh herbs until you're ready to eat, so they stay vibrant.
- Optional add ins:
- Grilled Eggplant
- Green Beans
- Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- substitute Queso Fresco for feta
