This salad came to one night after coming home from the gym super late and realizing we needed to eat something, and soon. It's salty, quick, relatively healthy and definitely one of those "clean out the fridge" dishes. Oh, and it has meyer lemon, of course.
Warm Lemony Couscous Salad
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup whole wheat israeli couscous
pinch of salt (there is enough in the other ingredients)
2 bunches organic broccolini, ends chopped and reserved
zest and juice of one lemon
1/2 cup pitted and chopped kalamata olives
1/4 cup goat's milk feta (optional but so tasty!)
2 tbs each fresh mint, parsley
1. Bring stock to boil in large saute pan.
2. When bubbling, add in salt followed by couscous, broccolini and ends. Cover, remove from heat and set aside.
3. Let rest about 15 minutes, until pasta is cooked through and broccolini is tender. Add in remaining ingredients, fresh cracked pepper and more salt if needed.
While the cheese is entirely optional, it added a yummy creamy saltiness that was perfect and even better as it cooled and mingled in the fridge overnight.
