This delicious Mediterranean Inspired Couscous Salad is one of my favorite salads to serve up during the warmer months. So, I’ve teamed up with my friends at NatureSweet Tomatoes to bring you some of the best summer products for this salad that I adore.

It has pearl couscous, NatureSweet® Cherubs® tomatoes, Avocados From Mexico, English cucumbers, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and I marinated some Vidalia® RealSweet® Onions in a herby vinaigrette! It’s super easy to make and you don’t have to travel far to enjoy it, which I love!

 

Similar to my cookbook, you can freestyle this salad and make it your own in different ways.

Here’s a few ways to freestyle this recipe:

  • use green olives instead of kalamata olives
  • use pasta instead of couscous
  • use store-bought salad dressing Greek or Italian vinaigrette instead of homemade

Here are some other ideas to consider:

  • add some fresh basil or tarragon
  • add cannellini beans, chickpeas, navy beans, or Great Northern beans
  • add fresh greens such as arugula, baby spinach, or baby kale

Are there ways to veganize this recipe???

Sure. Simply omit the feta cheese or use a vegan feta cheese.

Ingredients

For the sweet onion vinaigrette (makes about ¾ cup):

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ¼ cup sweet yellow onions, diced small (I used Vidalia® RealSweet® Onions

For the salad:

  • 1 ⅓ cup pearl couscous
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup diced English cucumbers
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • ¾ cup jarred marinated artichokes, diced
  • ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Small Bowl or Mason Jar with a Lid
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's Knife
  • Strainer or Colander
  • Medium Sauce Pan

Instructions

Make the vinaigrette:

  • In a small bowl or mason jar, combine all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette and whisk or shake well together. Add in the onions and let them marinate covered for 20 to 30 minutes. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an air-tight container.

Cook the pearl couscous:

  • In a medium sauce pan, cook the couscous per the instructions on the package. Once done, drain, rinse with cold water and set to the side.

Prepare the salad:

  • In a large bowl, add in the couscous along with the other ingredients for your salad. Pour in your desired amount of the vinaigrette and lightly give them a toss. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Please note: only add the avocados into the salad at the time you're ready to serve so that they don't change color and remain fresh.
  • Serve and enjoy!
