Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous pearl, uncooked (pearl couscous is also known as Israeli couscous)
- 4 cups arugula
- 1 tomato large, diced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup Pepitas shelled pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1 4- oz pack salmon smoked, wild-caught
For the Dressing
- 1/3 cup sour cream (could also substitute mayo although in most cases, it doesn't technically follow our real food rules)
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon basil fresh, chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Cook the couscous according to package directions and immediately toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil to prevent clumping. Allow to cool.
- On a large platter, arrange the arugula in a row down the center. Make a row of the cooked (yet, slightly cooled or cold) couscous next to it. Sprinkle the couscous with a little salt.
- In a small bowl toss the diced tomato with the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Make a row of it on the other side of the arugula.
- Toast the pepitas in a toaster oven or in a small, dry pan on the stove. They are done when you start to hear a bit of popping. Toss them together with the raisins and place in another row next to the tomatoes.
- Cut up the smoked salmon and place it in a row next to the couscous.
- To make the dressing, either whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, basil, and garlic, or for the best results, quickly blend it together with a hand immersion blender. Pour over top and serve.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
