Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked farro
• 2 cups fresh sweet corn kernels
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 large ripe peach
• 6 mini sweet peppers
• 1 medium cucumber
• 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 4 oz crumbled goat cheese
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds

Instructions

1. 1If the farro is not already cooked, simmer it in salted water according to package timing until pleasantly chewy, then drain and cool slightly so it stays fluffy.
2. 2In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm a thin film of olive oil. Add the corn kernels and mini sweet peppers cut into rings; sauté 4 to 5 minutes until corn browns in spots and peppers soften.
3. 3Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the peach and cucumber into bite-size pieces. Tear the basil into ribbons so the leaves perfume the whole bowl.
4. 4Whisk the remaining olive oil with white wine vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and lightly thickened.
5. 5Divide the warm or room-temperature farro among four shallow bowls, fluffing it into an even base.
6. 6Arrange the sautéed corn and peppers, tomatoes, peach, and cucumber in loose colorful sections over the grains so the bowl looks abundant and shareable.
7. 7Drizzle each bowl generously with the bright dressing, letting it pool into the farro.
8. 8Scatter crumbled goat cheese, torn basil, and toasted sunflower seeds over the top.
9. 9Serve at once while textures contrast—warm grains, juicy fruit, crisp cucumber—or pack components separately for easy assembly at a weekend gathering.
