Oh look! Another food post! I made this salad for the first time a couple of days ago and it was a big hit within my family, so I thought you would be interested in the recipe.
Cous Cous Cucumber Salad
Time: 20-30 minutes
Serves: 8-10 as a side dish
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber
- 4 cups of cous cous
- 550ml of boiling water
- 8 rashers of bacon
- 1 block of feta cheese
- mint leaves
- 1 cup of peas
- 1+ tablespoons of lemon juice
Method
Step 1. Cook the cous cous by pouring it into a heat safe container, then add the boiling water. Stir to make sure that the cous cous is sufficiently mixed in. This only needs to stay cooking for about 5 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to the salad bowl.
Step 2. Cut up the bacon into small pieces and toss in a frying pan with some butter.
Step 3. While the bacon is cooking cut up the cucumber, mint leaves and feta cheese, and add them to the cous cous.
Step 4. Once the bacon has finished cooking mix it in with the rest of the salad.
Step 5. Squirt the lemon juice over the salad then mix it in. Taste a bit and if you think it needs more then add it in.
And there, that's it, you're done. It's a fairly simple recipe, and a good one for summer, so be sure to give it a try!
