the salad I will spend the summer making over and over

06/08/2022 · In: food and drink

The summer days come and all I want to eat is bowls and bowls of cold salads. I’ve been making a variation of this recipe for years and it’s become a staple.

ingredients

  • ¾ cup couscous
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1-2 cups tomatoes
  • 1-2 cups cucumber sliced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • ⅓ cup flat leaf parsley chopped

dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons honey
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • salt & pepper to taste

instructions

  • Bring water, butter and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add couscous, stir and cover. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake/stir well to combine.
  • Place couscous in a large bowl and fluff with a fork. Allow to cool completely.
  • Add remaining salad ingredients and dressing. Toss to combine and serve.

Sometimes I add chickpeas, peas, carrots, red pepper, broccoli or whatever other raw vegetable we have in the fridge. Sometimes, like right now, I nix the feta cheese. Sometimes I don’t add the lemon juice. We’ll add grilled chicken and eat it as a meal or simply snack on it throughout the day. It’s easy to make it whatever you want!
