JEN'S GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD
This is a recipe I created when I needed something to take to a family get-together. It can be made ahead, so you just grab it and go! You can prepare all ingredients and refrigerate separately, then mix together before serving, but this recipe keeps well too!

GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD
I'm not sure just where I got this recipe, but I've been fixing it for a long, long time, most often with bulgur wheat instead of the couscous. Prep time does not include setting time in the fridge.

Steps:
- Place sun-dried tomatoes in a large bowl, cover with hot water, and let stand 10-15 minutes or until softened.
- Drain well, and coarsely chop.
- Add couscous, cucumber, radishes, parsley, basil, feta, and pine nuts, and toss lightly to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Set aside for 5 minutes for flavor to develop.
- Slowly add olive oil while continuing to whisk briskly.
- Pour over couscous mixture, and toss to blend.
- Cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Taste, and adjust seasonings before serving.
- For some reason, this salad dissipates flavors like you wouldnt believe.
- You will probably need more of most dressing ingredients, especially more lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper; but dont add them into the initial dressing mix.
- Add after the dish has set for a while.
- Variation: Replace couscous with coarse bulgur wheat, preferably#3 (very coarse), available at middle-eastern markets and some specialty food stores.
- To prepare, thoroughly rinse 1 cup bulgur in a strainer under running water.
- Place in a medium bowl, cover with very hot tap water, add 1 Tsp salt, mix thoroughly, and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Drain thoroughly, and use as noted above for couscous.

GREEK-STYLE COUSCOUS SALAD FOR A CROWD
This should be enough to serve about 12 people but that just depends on how much everyone eats, and trust me they will be going for seconds lol! although you will need only about 1/2 to 3/4 cup dressing for the salad the amounts listed will give you about 1-1/2 cups, you may reduce by half is desired and also the salad may be reduced by half, use a mixture of all coloured bell peppers for a colourful presentation but do not use more than 1-1/2 cups bell peppers, plan ahead the salad needs to chill until completely cold before serving, all amounts may be adjusted to taste. I strongly suggest to make the dressing a day in advance to blend the flavors, prep time includes chilling time but is only estimated.

GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD STUFFED AVOCADOS
I make this recipe on repeat not only because it's delicious, but because it's so convenient for meal prepping for the week. I like to make the couscous salad and the vinaigrette the beginning of the week and refrigerate them in separate airtight containers. Then when I'm ready for lunch or a snack, I'll dress the amount of salad I want and serve it over an avocado for a quick, delicious and filling meal. It's also perfect to have on hand when my friends visit because it takes no time at all to put together and the presentation looks fantastic.

Steps:
- Put the butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir to incorporate the melted butter, then stir in the couscous, cover with a tight-fitting lid and remove from the heat. Let stand until the couscous absorbs the water completely and is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
- Stir in the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, feta and parsley until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Whisk together the hummus, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Pour the hummus vinaigrette over the couscous salad and toss to combine.
- Scoop each avocado half from its skin with a large spoon. Squeeze 1 or 2 drops of lemon juice over each half, season with salt and top with a heaping 1/3 cup of the couscous salad. Serve immediately.
