Here's a healthier take on a greek pasta salad I make :)
- 200g cous cous, soaked for 20min in 250ml water (I use bulgar wheat as well, or quinoa)
- 4 heaped teaspoons pesto (red or green, your choice)
- 50ml white wine vinegar
- 25ml olive oil
- couple dashes lemon juice
- 2 chopped spring onions
- quarter cucumber chopped fine
- 16 baby plum tomatoes chopped into 9
- Whole block of feta chopped up
- 1 small red chilli chopped fine
- Finely chopped fresh basil and oregano
Make up the cous cous and leave to soak.
Mix the pesto, vinegar, olive oil and lemon juice together with the chilli. Once the cous cous has soaked for 20mins and is still warm, mix it through with the pesto mix and leave to soak for another 20 mins.
In the meantime, chop your onions, cucumber, tomatoes and feta and add to a large salad bowl. Add in the soaked cous cous and the chopped herbs and mix through well.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
