Couscous Salad with Feta

Couscous Salad with Feta


Couscous salad is one of those dishes that earns its place at every summer table. Effortless to put together, yet genuinely impressive once it's on the plate. This version layers fluffy, stock-infused couscous with sweet mango, smoky roasted peppers, cool cucumber, and creamy feta, all brought together by a simple honey and olive oil dressing. It works beautifully as a light lunch, a barbecue side, or packed into a container for a picnic.
 
Two ingredients here are worth a moment's attention. Walnuts are one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid linked to improved cardiovascular health and reduced inflammation. And feta, despite its bold flavour, is surprisingly high in calcium and contains beneficial short-chain fatty acids that may support gut health and bone density. Together, they turn a simple salad into something genuinely nourishing.
 
As with any dish where vegetables take centre stage, it's worth washing your produce in purified water. Tap water can carry residual chlorine and contaminants that cling to skins and leaves. AquaTru-filtered water gives your ingredients the clean rinse they deserve.

  • What you need:

    • 300 g couscous
    • 1 cucumber
    • 200 g feta, cut into small cubes
    • 200 g mango, cut into cubes
    • 250 g roasted bell peppers, cut into strips
    • 100 g walnuts
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • How to do it:

    1. Bring water to the boil as directed on your couscous packaging.
    2. Remove from the heat, add the couscous, stir briefly, and cover with a lid. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
    3. Rinse the cucumber and vegetables with purified water. Cut the cucumber into half slices, the roasted peppers into strips, and the mango into cubes. Finely chop the mint.
    4. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper to form a light dressing.
    5. Add the cucumber, peppers, mango, mint, and walnuts to the couscous. Pour over the dressing and toss well to combine.
    6. Add the feta cubes last, folding in gently to keep them intact.
    7. Serve lukewarm, or refrigerate for an hour and serve cold.

    Storage tip: Keep the salad covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and store the feta separately, adding it just before serving for the best results.
