Ingredients
Scaled 1.5
- 375 g cous cous
- 450 ml hot water
- 3 lemons
- 262.5 ml olive oil
- 1.5 large handful flat parsley
- 1.5 large handful mint
- 1.5 large handful dill
- 1.5 t / 9 g salt
- 0.75 t pepper
- 30 cherry tomatoes
- 0.75 cucumber
- 0.75 medium red onion
- 1.5 package feta cheese
Method
- Combine and let cous cous (you can also use bulgur wheat -- read the instructions) absorb the water. I have been told that is traditionally done with cold water, but I don't know if that means more or less water... so experiment at your own risk.
- Roll the lemons and squeeze into a medium bowl, remove pips. Pour in olive oil.
- Chop herbs, I usually do fairly fine and place in the lemon and oil bowl to infuse and stop the herbs from oxidizing. You can use other herbs as well... coriander/cilantro is also very nice.
- Chop the onion as fine as you can and place in the lemon and oil.
- Add salt and pepper -- obviously adjust to your tastes... but it takes more than you think!
- Chop tomatoes, cucumber and feta into small cubes
- When cous cous is cooled a bit, use a fork to fluff it up, then pour in dressing and chopped ingredients. Mix and cover.
