Ingredients
dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin, robust variety
- 1 Tbsp pomegranate molasses add more to taste
- 1 Tbsp lime juice fresh
salad
- 2 cups maftoul couscous cooked, measure after cooking
- 4 cups watermelon cubed, seedless
- 1 Tbsp lime juice fresh
- 1/2 cup pistachio chopped
- 1/4 red onion small, thinly slivered
- parsley handful, fresh, chopped
- mint fresh leaves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp sumac
- 2-3 ounces feta cheese Greek, rough crumbled, about 1/2 cup or more
- salt fresh cracked, to taste
- black pepper fresh cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients.
- Put the maftoul in a large bowl, it's ok if it's still a little warm. Toss with 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing.
- Toss the watermelon with the lime juice and add to the bowl, along with the onion, chopped pistachios, herbs, and sumac. Toss the salad with more of the dressing.
- Top with roughly crumbled feta and a good grinding of black pepper. I like to garnish with some parsley and/or mint leaves.
Notes
