We often buy this kind of salad in Italian delis, along with large containers of marinated artichokes, olives and peppers, a few different versions of fresh ricotta, taleggio and mozzarella cheeses and some freshly baked pane integrale. It’s simple Mediterranean no-fuss food that tastes amazing. It is also great to bring on picnics, as it can be brutally handled without turning ugly and can be served both cold and warm. The basic idea of this salad is to combine any sort of grain berries with finely chopped, oven-baked vegetables and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Roasted root vegetables could be good as a variation, too. Vegans will need to leave out the cheese at the end.
