Vegetable salad with feta and couscous
2 servings
30 minutes
Vegetable salad with feta and couscous is a light, refreshing dish that intertwines the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Its roots trace back to Greece, where feta and fresh vegetables hold a place of honor on the table. Tender couscous soaked in lemon juice gives the salad an airy structure, while feta adds creamy saltiness that harmonizes with crunchy cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, and sharp red onions. Herbs fill it with freshness, and pomegranate seeds add a hint of tartness. Olive oil smooths the texture while black pepper enhances the flavor. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish on a hot day or as an accompaniment to meat and fish dishes, making any meal more juicy and aromatic.
