Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups Israeli couscous
3 small zucchini, sliced lengthwise into planks
1 orange bell pepper, cored and quartered
1 red bell pepper, cored and quartered
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and quartered
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous and toast until golden brown. Add 1 1/2 cups water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains. Set aside.
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Toss the zucchini and peppers with the vegetable oil and some salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables, flipping occasionally, until just tender and lightly charred, about 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and, when cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch pieces. Mix the grilled vegetables together with the couscous.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss the lemon vinaigrette, feta and mint with the couscous salad. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make it with grilled chicken, but I've also made it with rotisserie chicken and it's just as good.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. The salad was still delicious, and I would definitely make it again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled vegetables. I had some zucchini and bell peppers that I grilled the night before, and they were perfect for this salad.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad turned out too dry. I think I needed to add more dressing or maybe some olive oil.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful dressing.

This salad was a hit at my last barbecue! The grilled vegetables added a smoky flavor that perfectly complemented the fluffy couscous. I also loved the addition of fresh herbs and lemon juice, which gave the salad a bright and refreshing taste.
