COUSCOUS SALAD (VEGAN)

This Israeli/Middle Eastern-inspired couscous salad with elements of Spanish cuisine is full of healthy ingredients and easy to make. If you can't find Israeli couscous (also known as pearl couscous) use the standard type. However, quinoa, orzo or other small pasta shapes can replace the couscous. From Good Housekeeping and slightly adapted by me. I had to stop my fingers from typing: "stir in 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water with the prunes."

Steps:

  • Cook the couscous in the vegetable broth but *do not* add any salt or butter.
  • Drain. Set aside to cool.
  • Vinaigrette: Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • In a large bowl combine the vinaigrette with the cooked and cooled couscous, garbanzo beans, green onions, red onions and prunes. Toss well to combine.
  • Line a platter or individual salad plates with the baby spinach.
  • Arrange the couscous mixture on the spinach.
  • Peel one orange,remove the pith and slice. Peel the other orange, remove the pitch and cut into small bite-size chunks.
  • Arrange the orange slices around the edges and the chunks around and on top of the couscous.
  • Garnish with the almonds and fresh parsley.

1 cup israeli couscous
14 ounces vegetable broth (unsalted) or 14 ounces chicken broth (unsalted)
15 -19 ounces garbanzo beans, cooked and drained
2 green onions, sliced
2 -3 tablespoons red onions, diced small (my addition)
1/2 cup prune, pitted and diced small (can substitute dried dates or dried figs if you prefer)

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
fresh parsley, minced (my addition)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. If you have a large lemon with a lot of zest, start with around half then add more zest to taste later on.
  • Heat a pan over low-medium heat and add the dried couscous to the dry pan. Toast for around 5 minutes or until golden brown, moving regularly to avoid burning.Note: I like to make couscous in a pan with a tight-fitting lid, as it lets me toast the couscous first. Toasting isn't necessary but adds extra flavour. If you don't want to do this, you can just add the dried couscous and liquid to a heat-proof bowl with a lid or cling film (plastic wrap) to create a tight fit.
  • Once the couscous is toasted, remove the pan from the heat and pour over the boiling water or vegan stock. Cover with a lid and leave to steam for around 5 minutes or until the couscous is soft (it may take slightly longer depending on the variety).
