Vegetable Salad with Couscous

Ingredients

Couscous 150 g

Cherry tomatoes 300 g

Bell pepper 2 pcs

Feta cheese 100 g

Fresh basil 20 g

Olive oil 6 tbsp

Lemon juice to taste

Salt 2 tbsp

Cumin 1 pinch

Coriander 1 pinch

Let's prepare the base of our couscous salad. Simply pour boiling water over the couscous, add salt, crushed cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar, half the olive oil, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it sit for ten minutes, fluff it with a fork, and the couscous is ready to eat.

Let it cool slightly while we quickly prepare the remaining ingredients for our salad. Wash and quarter the cherry tomatoes.

Seed the bell pepper, wash, and cut into small cubes. Cut the feta into small cubes, and tear the basil leaves (green or purple, or both) from their stems.

Now you can mix everything together, season with the remaining olive oil, add lemon juice to taste, and serve.

Enjoy!
