Couscous Feta Apricot Salad
INGREDIENTS
For the couscous:
- 1/2 cup whole wheat couscous (in the video I said 1 cup; make as much as you like!)
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (a pinch)
- 1/8 tsp pepper (a dash)
- 1/2 cup boiling water (put as much boiling water as you do couscous)
Salad ingredients:
- 1 cup arugula (you can swap out for another leafy green)
- 1 Tbsp chopped mint (fresh)
- ~10 chopped dried apricots (I cut mine with scissors)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4-1/2 cup crumbled feta
Additional liquid ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (or more)
- 1 Tbsp orange juice (optional)
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- small pot with a lid
- measuring cup
- kettle
- bowl
- scissors
- fork, spoon (something to fluff the couscous and mix the salad with)
STEPS
- Mix spices with couscous in a small pot. Add boiling water. Cover with lid and let sit for 5 or more minutes.
- In a large bowl, add all the salad ingredients. Toss together.
- When done, fluff the couscous with a fork. Add couscous to the bowl with the other salad ingredients.
- Drizzle on top with olive oil and orange juice. Mix and enjoy!
