couscous salad recipe

This fresh mediterranean couscous salad recipe is packed with raw &amp; roasted cherry tomatoes, feta, chickpeas &amp; herbs. Perfect for a picnic or packing for lunch! I like to roast the tomatoes in advance for quicker assembly.

Cherry Tomato Couscous Salad

cherry tomatoes ((half for roasting, half raw))

Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

dry Israeli couscous

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

lemon juice (more if desired)

garlic (minced)

thyme (more for garnish)

chickpeas

basil

Persian cucumbers (thinly sliced)

feta cheese

Sea salt and black pepper

Roast 2 cups of the cherry tomatoes according to this recipe. These can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a few days.

Cook the couscous according to the package directions until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

In the bottom of a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the lemon juice, garlic, thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Add the cooled couscous and toss. Slice the remaining raw cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with the roasted tomatoes, the chickpeas, basil, cucumbers, and feta. Top with more fresh herbs and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.

This Curried Couscous Salad is light and refreshing, and oh so delicious. You’ll love it for a healthy lunch or a flavorful side at dinner
