Postopek

Korak za korakom

1
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Približno 3 min
2
Add the Israeli couscous to the boiling broth, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Do not overcook the couscous; it should be al dente.
3
Remove the couscous from the heat and let it cool for 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Približno 15 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Cooling prevents the vegetables from wilting when mixed.
4
While the couscous cools, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Približno 3 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Adjust seasoning to your preference.
5
In a large bowl, combine the cooled couscous, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh mint.
Približno 2 min
6
Pour the dressing over the couscous and vegetable mixture.
7
Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined and coated with the dressing.
Približno 1 min
8
Serve immediately, or chill for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld, optionally garnishing with crumbled feta cheese.
Kuharjeva opomba: The salad tastes even better after chilling for a while.
