Couscous Salad with Spicy Feta
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 (6 ounce) package feta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pitted black olives
  • 1/4 cup pitted green olives
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
1
Preheat a cooking vessel to a minimal temperature setting. Add dried oregano and ground chili powder to the empty, hot cooking vessel; cook and stir constantly until aromatic and lightly browned, approximately 1 minute. Take the cooking vessel off the heat source and combine with olive oil. Pour over crumbled feta cheese and allow it to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
2
In the meantime, heat a container of water to its boiling point. Pour the boiling water over the pre-cooked couscous and cover it with a lid for 10 minutes.
3
Combine diced cucumber, chopped tomato, sliced bell pepper, minced onion, pitted black and green olives, 2 tablespoons of oil, and minced garlic into the warm couscous.
4
Mix together oil, balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, and soy sauce for the salad dressing in a separate container. Pour the dressing over the salad.
5
Arrange the marinated feta on top of the dressed salad and serve.
