That looks great--all my favorite flavors in one bowl. Do you use some kind of oil/dressing?

Hard to believe I had never heard of farro a year ago. I'm making up for lost time now.

What are the ingredients? I think I see feta and cherry tomatoes.

And ancient wheat like grain. (Edit, it is a species of wheat) Chewy and nutty when cooked right. According to google. (I had to look too).

@pj Farro is italian Emmer grain. Very tasty! We baked the bottom of Quiches with Emmer instead of wheat or spelt - it has a strong nutty flavor (even more than spelt) and is more dense than the "modern" dough. Yummy.
Then we tried sourdough bread with Emmer - that didn´t go well. The end product fell into the category of "dwarfish warbread" according to the late Terry Pratchett.
The salad looks delicious!

Nothing to add. Just have to express my appreciation for the Pratchett reference. Mr. Ironcrust would approve.
