Ingredients
  • 1½ cups corn cous cous
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 x 400 gram tin of black beans
  • ½ of a 480 gram jar of roasted capsicums
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander
  • ¼ cup fresh mint, optional
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 2 handfuls rocket
  • 50 grams feta cheese
  • Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
Instructions
  1. Prepare cous cous according to directions on the packet. For the one I used I boiled 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Turn heat off then add ¾ teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1½ cups of corn cous cous. Mix well with a fork, then place the lid on the saucepan and set aside for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the dressing: Add oil, lemon juice and garlic to a jar with a well-fitting lid. Shake well, then set aside.
  3. Open the tin of beans and tip into a colander. Rinse under cool running water and set aside.
  4. Slice the roasted capsicums into medium sized squares.
  5. Wash the coriander, then finely chop along with the mint.
  6. Cut the avocado into squares.
  7. Time to mix it all together!
  8. Pour the dressing over the cous cous and stir through well.
  9. Transfer the cous cous to a serving bowl and add the coriander (reserve a little for garnish), mint, capsicum, avocado and rocket and mix gently to combine.
  10. Wipe the sides of the bowl and serve topped with crumbled feta and reserved coriander.
