Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan.
- Add the couscous, peas and corn to a large bowl and stir in the hot vegetables stock. Cover with a lid or plate and leave for 10 minutes for the couscous to absorb the stock. Stir in the lemon juice and fluff the couscous up with a fork.
- Meanwhile, slice the zucchini lengthways thinly. Gently rub with half of the oil, then place onto the hot grill and cook for a few minutes on each side to soften slightly and get char lines.
- Slice the halloumi into thick slices, then rub with the remaining oil. Add to the grill and cook for a few minutes on each side or until soft and lightly charred.
- Pile the couscous onto a serving plate, then top with the zucchini, halloumi, pumpkin seeds, scallions and parsley. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- In order for the couscous to be cooked through, the vegetable stock needs to be hot enough to steam it and thaw the vegetables.
- If you're not a fan of grilled halloumi or zucchini, you can cook it in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides.
- This salad can also be served cold, making it perfect for picnics or potlucks! Just let the couscous and vegetables cool completely before assembling the salad.
- Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a Grilled Halloumi Sandwich for a complete lunch.
- Makes a great side dish alongside a hearty Easy Mushroom Tart.
- Enjoy a refreshing glass of Strawberry Iced Tea outside on a warm day.
