Farro and Roasted Pepper Salad

The only problem with this recipe is it requires roasted peppers which of course requires a warm oven. I would say this one is worth a little bit of heat though. If you don't have farro, feel free to substitute a grain of your choice. Bulgur would be the closest, but I used Israeli couscous.

Farro and Roasted Pepper Salad (from Plenty)

Ingredients
150g farro
2 red bell peppers
10 pitted black olives, quartered lengthwise
1 tbsp chopped oregano or thyme
3 spring onions, thinly sliced
100g feta, broken into large chunks
Dressing

4. To make dressing, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
5. Place cooked farro in large mixing bowl and add peppers, olives, oregano, spring onions, and feta. Pour over dressing and mix together. Serve.
