Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Bring a large pot of at least 3 cups of water to a boil.
Rinse farro in a sieve. Cook according to package instructions.
Cut peppers into quarters, removing core and seeds. Place on a large baking dish and toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them on the baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven for 15-20 mins.
Meanwhile, make salad dressing by whisking together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or tossing vigorously in a jar. (Rosemary EVOO, lemon juice, elderberry balsamic, garlic powder, thyme, salt+pepper)
Remove peppers from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into smaller (approximately 1-inch) pieces.
Add arugula, cooked farro, peppers, basil, and salad dressing to a large salad bowl. Toss to combine, adding additional salt + pepper, if desired.
Crumble goat cheese overtop and then gently toss once more. Serve
Enjoy!
