START TO FINISH: 45 MINUTES


1 cup farro


Vegetable oil, for grill


4 medium zucchini or other summer
squash (2 pounds), sliced
lengthwise into 1∕2-inch planks


5 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil, plus more for brushing


Kosher salt and freshly
ground black pepper


1∕2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds


11∕2 cups raspberries


1∕2 small shallot, minced


2 tablespoons cider vinegar


1 cup blackberries, halved


6 ounces crumbled
sheep’s-milk feta


¼ cup packed fresh basil, chopped,
plus small leaves for serving



  1. Cover farro with 3 inches of water
    in a medium saucepan. Bring to a
    boil over medium-high heat, then
    reduce to a simmer and cook, uncov-
    ered, until farro is tender, about 25
    minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or
    a grill pan over medium-high heat
    and lightly coat grates with vege-
    table oil. On a rimmed baking
    sheet, brush both sides of the zuc-
    chini with olive oil and season to
    taste with salt and pepper. Grill
    the zucchini, flipping halfway
    through, until lightly charred and
    tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. In a small skillet, toast the cori-
    ander seeds over medium heat until
    fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer
    to a cutting board and smash with
    the back of a knife. In a medium
    bowl, smash ½ cup raspberries with
    the back of a fork. Stir the shallot,
    vinegar, and coriander into the
    smashed raspberries. Slowly whisk
    in ¼ cup olive oil. Season to taste
    with salt and pepper.

  4. Toss the farro with the remaining
    tablespoon of olive oil. Season
    to taste with salt and pepper.
    Gently fold the remaining cup
    of raspberries, the blackberries,
    feta, and basil into the farro.

  5. Serve the zucchini over the
    farro salad and drizzle the
    smashed-raspberry dressing over
    top. Garnish with more basil.

    bowl and cover with plastic wrap
    to steam, 10 minutes.

  2. Remove seeds and stem from
    peppers and peel off skin. Roughly
    chop the roasted peppers and
    scrape into a food processor. Add

    paprika and pulse until smooth.
    With the food processor running,
    slowly drizzle in the olive oil;
    season to taste with salt.

    on plates and top with the grilled
    cauliflower planks. Scatter the
    remaining thinly sliced nectarines
