Farro is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for centuries. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and iron. Farro has a nutty flavor and chewy texture that makes it a great addition to salads, soups, and stews. This salad was inspired by a trip to Italy. I was visiting a small town in Tuscany when I came across a restaurant that served a farro salad with roasted vegetables and feta cheese. The salad was so delicious that I asked the chef for the recipe. He was kind enough to share it with me, and I have been making it ever since. I have made a few modifications to the original recipe over the years. I have added red onion for a bit of sharpness, and I have increased the amount of feta cheese. I also like to use a variety of roasted vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots. This gives the salad a more complex flavor and texture.
