Jennifer Aniston Couscous Salad
It has made my heart extremely happy to see all of the different versions out there but I truly think this couscous recipe is the best by far. I absolutely love couscous in any dish and it pairs so perfectly with the flavours in this recipe.
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups couscous cook on the stove as per the directions on the package
- 2 cups water for the couscous
- ⅛ teaspoon salt for the couscous water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for the couscous water
- ½ red onion finely diced
- ½ cup parsley finely chopped
- ⅓ cup mint finely chopped
- ⅓ cup pistachios or as many as you like
- ½ cup cucumbers about 2 mini cucumbers
- chickpeas optional
- ½ cup feta cheese measure with your heart
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or to taste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or to taste
Instructions
- In a pot on the stove add 1 and 1/3 cup couscous, 2 cups water, salt and olive oil. Let it come up to a boil, and take it off the heat as soon as it does.
- Cover it and let it sit for 5 minutes. Finely dice all of the herbs and vegetables and take your time because this should be therapeutic.
- Add everything to a bowl with the cooked and cooled down couscous and mix. Feel free to add some chickpeas, grilled chicken or shrimp for protein.
- I added a touch of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt but feel free to adjust. Enjoy
