Ingredients
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 cup boiling water / chicken stock
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 English cucumber
- ½ red onion
- 4 radishes
- ½ cup feta cheese cubed
- 400 g (14oz) chickpeas drained and rinsed
- large handful fresh herbs basil, parsley, chopped chives
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Add the couscous to a large metal or glass bowl then pour over the boiling water (you can use chicken stock too if you want more flavor) and season with a pinch of salt.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and allow to soak for 10 minutes then fluff with a fork.
- Finely dice the vegetables. I don't like keeping the veggies too chunky for this salad so I quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion and cucumber.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water then allow to drain for a few minutes before adding to the salad.
- Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Add all the vegetables and herbs to the couscous along with the feta cheese.
- Toss to combine with the dressing and serve.
