Israeli Couscous Salad With Roasted Vegetables, Feta And Mint
- dressing
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup blood orange juice
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- Salad
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups Israeli couscous
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups asparagus, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 container grape tomatoes, sliced in half
- 2 cups English cucumber, diced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, minced
- 2 cups crumbled sheep's milk feta
- 1/2 cup pitted and halved Kalamata olives
- 4 radish, optional
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400. Whisk garlic, blood orange juice, and mustard together in a small bowl. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss the asparagus and tomatoes with olive oil and spread them out on a sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for about 10 minutes or until the skin looks blistered.
- Bring the broth to a boil and mix in the couscous. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until couscous is tender and all the broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer couscous to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature, tossing occasionally.
- Mix in asparagus, tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, olives, and mint. Add dressing and toss. Gently mix in the feta.
- Thinly slice radish on a ceramic slicer and place in cold water to keep crisp. When ready to serve, top the salad with thin rounds of radish.
