Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook until soft and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add dry couscous and saute until slightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until couscous is tender and all liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 45 minutes.
  • While the couscous is cooling, mix lemon zest, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and Dijon mustard together for the dressing in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Transfer cooled couscous to a serving bowl. Add cucumbers, spinach, tomatoes, olives, scallions , parsley, mint, and basil. Pour dressing over top and mix to incorporate.

COUSCOUS SALAD WITH TURMERIC, CHICKPEA AND TOMATO

Turmeric highlights the golden hue of couscous while adding a welcome bit of flavor. The grains are paired with tomatoes, which have been left to sit in red wine and vinegar, infusing them with flavor and making the dressing even more juicy for the couscous-chickpea mix. If you want the onion to be nice and crisp and to take its raw edge off, put the slices in a bowl of ice and water before you cook the couscous. Drain them right before tossing them in. You can add even more crunch by topping the salad with sliced celery or chiles, if you like your food spicy. Either thinly sliced fresh chiles, such as fresno or jalapeños, or preserved ones, like peppadews or hot cherry, work well.

Couscous Salad With Turmeric, Chickpea and Tomato image

Steps:

  • Combine the turmeric, 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt with 2 cups water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for at least 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper in a very large bowl. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas and stir to coat.
  • When the couscous is ready, scrape with a fork to fluff into bits. Pour into the tomato mixture, along with the onion, arugula and half the cheese. Fold gently until well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper, and dress with additional oil and vinegar, if desired.
  • Divide among dishes and top with the remaining feta and the celery or chile, if using.

ISRAELI CHICKPEA SALAD

This is a refreshing, crunchy and healthy salad with one of my favorites: chickpeas! It's a good main-dish vegetarian salad, uses ingredients typically "on-hand" - and is delicious with pita chips! As you can imagine, it's awesome with garden-fresh veggies in the summer! Add black olives if desired.

  • COUSCOUS: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the couscous and toast, stirring often until the couscous is golden, about 1-2 minutes. Then, add water and cook according to package directions, typically couscous takes 7-10 minutes based on the size.
  • DRESSING + TOMATOES: While the couscous is boiling, add the tomato halves to a small bowl along with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, a pinch of red pepper flakes, black pepper, and minced garlic. Allow the tomatoes to marinate until ready to add to salad. While the tomatoes are marinating, combine the shallots, lemon zest, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a mason jar and give it a shake until combined. Taste and adjust with additional seasonings as desired.
  • SALAD: When the couscous has cooked, add it to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, and Kalamata olives. Toss to combined and dress the salad with the prepared dressing. Allow the salad to sit and for the couscous and chickpeas to soak up the salad dressing for about 20-30 minutes. You can taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed. Then, add the chopped herbs, marinated tomatoes, and feta to the salad. You can serve the salad at room temperature or allow it to cool down in the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving.
