Add broccoli to a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes at 400°. It should be tender-crisp with little bits of browned edges from roasting.

- To a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled farro, roasted broccoli, sliced scallions, feta cheese, arugula, and lemon vinaigrette. Toss to coat. Refrigerate to cool, or serve immediately at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers. Enjoy!
