  • 240 ml boiling water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 150 g pomegranate seeds
  • 50 g cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the couscous and salt, then pour the boiling water over this mixture. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. Fold the diced cucumber, chopped onion, parsley, mint, and pomegranate seeds into the fluffed couscous.

Notes

For added fiber, consider using whole wheat couscous. This salad can be made a day ahead; just hold off on adding the feta and dressing until serving.
