Description

Gorgeous red couscous salad! Great summer meal or the perfect accompaniment to a BBQ. If you prefer a little more kick in your salad, substitute the goat cheese with Gorgonzola.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 250 grams Couscous
  • 6 whole Beets
  • 6 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 whole Avocados
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Flatleaf Parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Chives
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 80 grams Walnuts, Chopped
  • 100 grams Goat Cheese (or Gorgonzola)
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 8 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons Fig Compote (or Jam)
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200ºC (390ºF). Prepare couscous according to the instructions on the packet.

Peel beets with a vegetable peeler and cut into squares. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, vinegar and sugar. Add the beets and make sure they are coated in the oil mixture. Transfer to a baking dish and roast in the oven for at least 1 hour.

In a separate bowl, mix al the ingredients for the dressing. If the dressing is too thick, add some extra olive oli. Take the beets out of the oven and add them to the dressing while still hot. Stir and set aside for a few minutes. This wil help infuse the beets with the dressing and give the dressing a beautifull red colour.

Peel and slice avocado. Then cut into small cubes.

Mix couscous with the beets, dressing, and chopped parsley and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large serving plate and scatter on walnuts, avocado and crumbled goat cheese or Gorgonzola.
