- Grill the vegetables on a cast iron grill pan or barbecue, then transfer them to a plate to cool down.
- Chop the grilled vegetables into smaller chunks and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the quartered cherry tomatoes and season them with olive oil, and salt.
- Add the cooked and drained Farro to the bowl, and the grilled vegetables. Season again to taste with olive oil and salt. Mix well with a spoon.
