OUR FAVORITE LEMON HERB COUSCOUS SALAD



Our Favorite Lemon Herb Couscous Salad image

We love this light couscous salad - it doubles as a side, can be the main event or works well topped with grilled chicken or Adam's favorite, shrimp! With lots of texture from crisp cucumber, sweet tomatoes, crunchy nuts and raisins, this is certainly one of our favorites. You can even make it ahead of time. See the notes section below for our tips.

COUS-COUS SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE



Cous-Cous Salad With Blue Cheese image

This salad does well when it�s made ahead. It will last stored in the fridge for up to two days and, in fact, tastes a little better if allowed to do so. By resting, the flavors of the dressing are able to mingle and penetrate the grains of cous-cous. This is also a great when served warm or cold, giving you flexibility depending on your menu. Best of all, the flavors are adaptable. If you don�t want blue cheese feel free to substitute a different tangy cheese, or dried currants work well if you don�t have craisins on hand. The point is, have fun with the flavors and rest assured that this will fit all of your side dish needs this summer. From the Naptimechep.com

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon salt and butter to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let the pot stand (covered) for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork, and transfer to a large bowl. Allow to cool completely before assembling the rest of the salad.
  • While the couscous cooks, toast the pecans. You can do this in a dry skillet over low heat, or in the microwave. To microwave the pecans, place them on a microwave-safe plate and cook in 30-second increments (stirring each time) until they’re fragrant and just starting to brown. It typically takes a total of about 1 ½ minutes in my microwave, but your cooking time may vary. Allow the pecans to cool before assembling the salad.
  • Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients (or shake them in a jar). Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
