COUSCOUS SALAD WITH SUN DRIED TOMATO AND FETA

Couscous Salad with Sun Dried Tomato and Feta image

Recipe VIDEO above. A 12 minute, no cook, giant Couscous Salad with sun dried tomato, feta, rocket / arugula, herbs and the added nutty tastiness of chickpeas. My shortcut-flavour tip is to use the oil from the sun dried tomato jar as the dressing - free flavour! The flavour pops from the sun dried tomato and feta are quite intense, so this truly is satisfying to have as a meal, or as a substantial side. This makes quite a lot - serves 5 as a main, or 8 - 10 as a side. Keeps very well.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups dried couscous ((Note 1))
1 1/4 cups / 315 ml boiled water
1 tsp vegetable stock powder ((or 1 cube crumbled) (Note 2))
1 garlic clove (, minced)
1 tsp coriander powder (or cumin - I interchange)
400 g / 14 oz chickpeas (1 can) (, drained)
1/2 cup coriander (, finely chopped)
1/2 cup parsley (, finely chopped (or mint))
1 red onion (, chopped)
220 g / 7 oz jar sun dried tomato strips in OIL ((Note 3))
120 g / 4 oz rocket / arugula lettuce (, chopped into 5 cm / 2" pieces)
Zest of 1 large lemon
5 tbsp fresh lemon juice ((2 large lemons))
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
60 g / 2 oz feta (, crumbled)
Salt and pepper (, to taste)

Steps:

Place chickpeas, couscous, vegetable stock powder, coriander and garlic in a large bowl. Pour over hot water, shake to level out couscous (chickpeas should mostly settle on top). Cover with plate or cling wrap, set aside for 5 minutes.
Fluff couscous with fork. Cool a bit.
Add coriander, parsley, onion, sun dried tomatoes (including all oil), rocket, lemon juice and black pepper. Sprinkle zest across surface. Toss well to combine.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to serving bowl, sprinkle with feta. Serve.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH COUSCOUS CONFETTI

Romaine Salad with Couscous Confetti image

You can use regular couscous or Israeli couscous for this lemony, confetti-like mixture of couscous, mixed diced peppers and mint. I categorize this salad as a salad with grains rather than a grain salad (I know, couscous isn't a grain, but it plays a grainy role here), as there's more lettuce than couscous.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2/3 cup finely diced peppers, preferably a mix of red, green and yellow peppers
1 1/2 cups reconstituted regular or Israeili couscous
1/4 cup, tightly packed, fresh mint leaves, cut in slivers or chopped (more to taste)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup extra- virgin olive oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (to taste)
2 romaine hearts, cut crosswise into 1-inch thick chiffonade (about 5 cups)
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

In a medium bowl, combine peppers, couscous, and mint. Whisk together lemon juice and salt. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Toss half of this mixture with the couscous and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer.
Whisk mustard and remaining olive oil into remaining dressing. Taste and adjust salt.
In a large bowl, toss lettuce with remaining dressing. Add freshly ground pepper to taste. Taste, and if it tastes too lemony, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add couscous mixture and toss together again. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.
