Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Tried this today and people really liked it. Many people who commented on it, said they really liked the orange zest! This is a wonderful salad for a potluck - we took it along to the BBQ we had at a friend's house today. Will definitely keep this one. COUSCOUS WALNUT SALAD with FETA CHEESE AND OLIVES 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled 8 ounces black Mediterranean olives, pitted and coarsely chopped 1 bunch green onions or scallions, chopped 1 small clove garlic, very finely minced Grated rind of one orange (about 2 tablespoons, plus the juice) 1/2 cup very finely minced parsley 3/4 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 package (10 ounce) Couscous Plain 8 ounces chopped California walnuts, lightly toasted In a large glass bowl, combine all the ingredients except the couscous and walnuts. Mix well and let stand at room temperature for at least one hour. Meanwhile, prepare the couscous according to package directions in a bowl. Fluff with a fork. Cool 10 minutes. In a large nonstick skillet, heat walnuts over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until golden and fragrant. Combine cooled couscous with dressing ingredients and sprinkle with walnuts. 6 to 8 servings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
