Mediterranean Couscous Recipe
Serves 5-6 as a side dish. Can be doubled or tripled.
Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) box Couscous or 2 cups prepared couscous* (see note in instructions on a trick to preparing the couscous)
- 6 whole pitted dates, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup feta
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Instructions
In a big bowl add the prepared couscous*. Mix in all the additional ingredients.
Taste and add any additional salt or freshly cracked black pepper. (Remember that feta can be pretty salty so you might not need salt.)
Serve with a side of Tzatziki sauce and greek chicken kabobs.
Notes
*The box instructions on the couscous will have you add the couscous once the water is boiling but to make sure your couscous does not clump, add it to the cold water along with the seasoning packet and anything else called for. Mix. Turn the heat on and allow it to come to a boil. Then remove from heat, cover for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, fluff with a fork for perfect couscous that is not clumpy!
