Time 45m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup chicken broth
½ cup water
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ cup pearl (Israeli) couscous
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1 cup canned garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained

GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD STUFFED AVOCADOS



Greek Couscous Salad Stuffed Avocados image

I make this recipe on repeat not only because it's delicious, but because it's so convenient for meal prepping for the week. I like to make the couscous salad and the vinaigrette the beginning of the week and refrigerate them in separate airtight containers. Then when I'm ready for lunch or a snack, I'll dress the amount of salad I want and serve it over an avocado for a quick, delicious and filling meal. It's also perfect to have on hand when my friends visit because it takes no time at all to put together and the presentation looks fantastic.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup organic couscous
10 cherry tomatoes (about 4 ounces), each cut into 6 wedges (about 3/4 cup)
1 Persian cucumber (about 3 ounces), finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 medium red onion (about 2 ounces), finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
12 pitted kalamata olives (about 1 1/2 ounces), finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves and stems, roughly chopped
1/4 cup roasted garlic hummus (see Cook's Note)
1 lemon, zested and juiced, plus more for squeezing
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ripe medium avocados, halved and pitted

Steps:

  • Put the butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir to incorporate the melted butter, then stir in the couscous, cover with a tight-fitting lid and remove from the heat. Let stand until the couscous absorbs the water completely and is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, feta and parsley until evenly combined. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the hummus, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Pour the hummus vinaigrette over the couscous salad and toss to combine.
  • Scoop each avocado half from its skin with a large spoon. Squeeze 1 or 2 drops of lemon juice over each half, season with salt and top with a heaping 1/3 cup of the couscous salad. Serve immediately.

  • Prepare the couscous mix according to package instructions making sure to add in the seasoning mix. If you don't use couscous from a package, you'll want to add some of your favorite seasonings because a lot of the flavor in this salad comes from that seasoning.
  • While the couscous is cooking, prep the veggies: coarsely chop the cucumber, the peppers, the red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the parsley. To take the "bite" out of the raw red onion you can soak it in cold water (or freshly squeezed lemon juice) for about 10 minutes.
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas. If desired, roast them in the oven (see the last paragraph in this post).
  • Prepare the dressing by adding all of the dressing ingredients to a mason jar. (I add about 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, but add to your personal preference). Seal the jar and shake until combined.
