This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some leftover roasted broccoli and carrots, and I added them to this salad. It was a great way to use up my leftovers, and it made the salad even more delicious.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before, and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together, and the farro was even more chewy.
