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.

Time 20m

Yield Makes approximately 8 (1 cup) servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups dried Israeli couscous, also called pearl couscous
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 to 4 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice, depending on taste
1 medium English cucumber, diced
1 large tomato, diced

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

COUSCOUS SALAD



Couscous salad image

Four easy steps to a perfect summer salad

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Snack, Supper

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

250g couscous
½ vegetable stock cube
knob butter (about 1 tbsp)
240g pack halloumi cheese
½ tub natural yogurt
1-2 tsp harissa paste
200g can chickpeas
2 roasted red peppers (from a jar is fine)
50g bag wild rocket

Steps:

  • Tip the couscous into a large bowl. measure 400ml boiling water into a measuring jug and crumble in the stock cube. Add the butter and stir until the stock cube has dissolved and the butter melted. Pour over the couscous, then tightly cover with cling film. Leave for 10 mins until all the stock has been absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cut the halloumi into ½cm-thick slices. When the pan is really hot (a drop of water will sizzle immediately), place the halloumi slices in the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins until charred and lightly golden. Use a fish slice to turn cheese and repeat on the other side. Cut the slices in half.
  • Tip the yogurt into a small bowl. Mix in the harissa, a little at a time, until you're happy with the flavour. Tip the chickpeas into a sieve and rinse under the cold tap. Drain any liquid from the peppers, scraping away any seeds and tear into chunks.
  • Remove the cling film from the couscous and use a fork to fluff up the grains and break up any clumps. Mix in the chickpeas, peppers and rocket. Toss through the warm halloumi slices, then drizzle over the yogurt dressing to serve.

ROASTED VEGETABLE COUSCOUS SALAD WITH HARISSA-STYLE DRESSING



Roasted Vegetable Couscous Salad With Harissa-style Dressing image

The combination of goats' cheese and roasted vegetables on a cool bed of couscous mixed with salad leaves and a spicy dressing is positively fabulous.

Provided by BonnieZ

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 small eggplant
2 medium zucchini
1 lb cherry tomatoes, skinned
1 small red pepper, de-seeded and cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm)
1 small fennel bulb, chopped
1 large onion, sliced and cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm)
2 fat garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, torn so that they stay quite visible
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces pitted black olives, chopped
1 tablespoon capers, drained
salt & freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces medium couscous
18 fluid ounces vegetable stock
4 ounces firm goat cheese
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces mixed salad greens or 3 ounces baby greens
4 fluid ounces extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons tomato puree
4 tablespoons lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 tablespoon black onion seeds

Steps:

  • First prepare the roasted vegetables: prepare the eggplant and zucchini ahead of time by cutting them into 1 inch (2.5 cm) dice, leaving the skins on. Then toss the dice in a level teaspoon of salt and pack them into a colander with a plate on top and a heavy weight on top of the plate. Leave them on one side for an hour so that some of the bitter juices drain out. After that, squeeze out any juices left, and dry the dice thoroughly in a clean cloth. Preheat the oven to gas mark 9, 475°F (240°C).
  • Now arrange the eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, pepper, fennel and onion in the roasting pan or sheet pan, sprinkle with the crushed garlic, basil and olive oil, toss everything around in the oil to get a good coating and season with salt and pepper. Place the pan on the highest shelf of the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the vegetables are toasted brown at the edges.
  • When the vegetables are done, remove them from the oven and stir in the chopped olives and the capers then remove them to a plate to cool.
  • When you're ready to assemble the salad, first place the couscous in a large, heatproof bowl, then pour the boiling stock over it, add some salt and pepper, stir it with a fork, then leave on one side for 5 minutes, by which time it will have absorbed all the stock and softened.
  • Meanwhile cut the cheese into sugar cube-sized pieces. Make up the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a bowl, then pour into a serving container. To serve the salad, place the couscous in a large, wide salad bowl and gently fork in the cubes of cheese along with the roasted vegetables. Next arrange the salad leaves on top and, just before serving, drizzle a little of the dressing over the top followed by a sprinkling of onion seeds and pass the rest of the dressing around separately.
