I found this super quick to make couscous salad with feta recipe on the BBC Good Food website. I had a new bag of couscous in the cupboard and some feta left over from other recipes and was looking for some inspiration. The addition of pesto really appealed so decided to give it a try.
The pesto flavour throughout the salad is delicious along with the salty hits of feta and the fresh crunch from the cucumber, peppers and spring onions.
It's a great dish to serve at a buffet, at a BBQ or to take on a picnic. Leftovers are great to enjoy for lunch too.
Tips
- I normally use green pesto, however, try it with red pesto for a change.
- This couscous salad with feta recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
