Jamie Oliver has shared a vibrant ‘sunshine on a plate’ couscous salad, perfect for al fresco dining. The dish is packed with fresh herbs, vegetables, and a crunch from pistachios, making it a colourful and nutritious family meal.
Prepped and ready within an hour, the salad can be served hot or cold. The recipe involves blitzing tomatoes, garlic, mint and red wine vinegar to create a dressing, then stirring in couscous and leaving it to rehydrate in the fridge for an hour.
Meanwhile, aubergine, courgette, onion and peppers are roasted with feta cheese drizzled with honey and oregano. Once golden, the roasted vegetables are tossed with the couscous, and the feta is crumbled over the top.
For added bite, the recipe suggests serving with seared hot honey salmon or grilled chicken breasts. The dish is finished with pomegranate seeds, fresh herb leaves and crushed pistachios, with an optional drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
