Israeli Couscous Salad with Lemon, Mint & Feta
Spring is in the air with this Israeli couscous salad. Israeli couscous (also known as pearl couscous) is actually a tiny, toasted pasta. Tender and slightly chewy, it makes a great base for this salad. Mix it with English peas, fresh spring asparagus and grape tomatoes. Fresh mint and lemon zest add brightness, and feta cheese brings a touch of tang. Toss it all together with a lemon vinaigrette for a mouthwatering, healthy meal that makes the soul sing of spring.
