Ultimate Couscous Salad: Kale, Bursting Tomatoes, Tart Cranberries, & Creamy Feta
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    10 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 kale leaves
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil, or more if required
  • 1/2 pint of diced cherry tomatoes
  • kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1/8 pound of crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup of dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup of cooked couscous
  • 1/4 cup of roasted pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds
  • Juice of half a lemon

Step 1

Separate the kale leaves from the stems, then give them a fine chop before gently massaging them with a generous drizzle of oil in a spacious bowl until they turn a rich dark green and release their delightful fragrance, usually taking about half a minute. Toss in some vibrant cherry tomatoes and give them a light sprinkle of kosher salt. Next, introduce the tangy feta cheese, sweet cranberries, fluffy couscous, crunchy pumpkin seeds, and nutty sunflower seeds to the mix.

Step 2

To bring all the flavors together, squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon over the ingredients and give everything a good toss until they are beautifully blended.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your kale fresh by storing it in a clean, dry kitchen towel in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This will help prevent wilting and maintain its crisp texture for your ultimate couscous salad.
  2. 2. To preserve the bursting tomatoes' flavor and juiciness, store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Avoid refrigerating them, as it can affect their taste and texture.
