Couscous Chickpeas and Feta with a Fresh Pomegranate Dressing
A little summer feast of all good things
Couscous Chickpeas and Feta with a Fresh Pomegranate Dressing Couscous Chickpeas and Feta with a Fresh Pomegranate Dressing

A lovely Middle Eastern style salad, but it's the dressing that steals the show. If you've got a pomegranate or just the seeds, this dressing is so simple but looks and tastes divine!

  1. Start with enough couscous for 4 portions and follow the intrsutions on the pack. While it swells, make the dressing with the pomengranate seeds, red wine vinegar and honey... all in a hand blender and whizzed until smooth
  2. Then prepare the rest of the salad with the red onion and salad onions, sliced plus the cherry tomatoes, halved... in a bowl with the olives and the chickpeas.Season and toss in some extra virgin olive oil
  3. Finally, fluff up the couscous, transfer to a serving plate and then spoon over the rest of the salad. Finish with a crumbling of feta cheese and a handful of roughly chopped mint leaves. Servve with a drizzle of the dressing all over and the rest on the side
