Ingredients
Salad:
- 250 g Giant (Israeli) couscous
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 Courgette (zucchini) diced
- 0.5 aubergine (eggplant) diced
- 2 bell peppers diced
- 1 red onion small; diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
- 60 g feta crumbled
- 80 g olives halved
- 10 sun-dried tomatoes chopped
Dressing:
- 4 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil (or olive oil)
- 0.5 lemon (juice only)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C(fan)/375°F/Gas 5.
- Put 10 Cherry tomatoes, 1 Courgette (zucchini), 0.5 Aubergine (eggplant), 2 Bell peppers and 1 Red onion onto a baking tray and add 1 tablespoon Olive oil and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper and stir well. Put into the oven for 35 minutes.
- Add 250 g Giant (Israeli) couscous to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 8-10 minutes and then drain.
- In a large bowl, add the couscous and vegetables.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 4 tablespoon Sun-dried tomato oil juice of 0.5 Lemon, 1 tablespoon Honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 Pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper. Pour over the couscous and vegetables and mix well.
- Put into a serving bowl and add 80 g Olives, 10 Sun-dried tomatoes and 60 g Feta.
Notes
- You could use olive oil, but we recommend using the oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes, as it's added flavour and there is no need to waste it.
- You could add some extra protein to this dish by stirring in a can of chickpeas or butter beans.
- It really is worth making the dressing yourself, as it is easy and so full of flavour. But if you are short on time, you could use a store bought lemon vinaigrette.
- If you can't find Israeli couscous then you can swap it for orzo or other small pasta shape or even regular couscous.
- Add some colour by mixing through some rocket lettuce just before serving.
