Preheat the oven to 450 F. Layer the asparagus spears on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Roll the spears in the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Roast until the spears are crisp tender and a little charred. Set aside to cool.
-
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the farro. Cook until a little tender and add the salt.
-
Cook until done to taste (I like my farro tender but chewy still). If using fresh peas, add them now and cook with the farro for 5 minutes. Then add the edamame and cook until heated through. If using frozen peas, add with the edamame and boil until heated through.
-
Drain the farro, edamame and peas. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and toss.
-
Cut the asparagus spears into bite sized pieces. Drain any accumulated lemon juice from the pan in with the asparagus pieces. Discard the lemon slices.
-
Toss the asparagus with the farro mixture in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle with oil to taste as well as the juice of 1 lemon. Toss and taste for more salt, lemon juice or oil.

You can serve the salad now, garnished with pecorino Romano, or you can make ahead and serve chilled.
