For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the quinoa and farro in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or roasted red peppers. If you don't have feta cheese, goat cheese or even a sprinkle of parmesan would be delicious. This salad is a great make-ahead dish and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
