Recipe type: Salad
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Couscous
  • 2 cups/ boiling Water
  • 4 teaspoons Tomato Paste
  • 3 tablespoons Oregano, chopped (or 1 T dried Oregano)
  • A good handful of fresh Parsley, chopped
  • ½ Lemon
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt & Pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup/125g sliced Greek olives
  • ½ lb/200g feta cheese, cubed
  • ¾ cup/125g Sun-dried tomatoes, sliced or chopped
Preparation Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling 2 cups of water. Once it's boiling, add it to the couscous, tomato paste, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Stir and cover the saucepan and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. While the couscous cooks, chop up your parsley and slice your olives and sun-dried tomatoes as needed. (My tomatoes were pre-sliced, which was nice.)
  3. When the couscous is done, fluff it with a fork and move it to a bowl. Add the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and parsley to the couscous and toss the mixture.
  4. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil and juice half a lemon over the couscous mixture. Then cut up the Feta into cubes and add it to the salad. Toss the salad.
  5. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed and combine again. Serve right away. This makes a great side dish or can be eaten on its own. Enjoy!
