Grilled Veggie Salad (with Couscous)


Chef’s Notes: I would first like to thank the people who send me recipes to try (and manipulate)! This one was sent by way of Holly Wesson, a mother and member of the most beautiful branch of the Hunt Clan. We missed you at the reunion this year!

Plan of Attack:
1. Couscous
2. Grill
3. Combine
Ingredients for 2:
2/3 C couscous
Cooking spray
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into large strips
1 zucchini, cut lengthwise
½ yellow onion, sliced into ¼” rings
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
½ C grape tomatoes, halved
1 C cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
¼ C crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:
  1. Cook couscous according to package directions
  2. Heat grill pan to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray
  3. Grill the bell pepper, zucchini and onion in batches until all our nicely charred (about 10-15 minutes)
  4. Once veggies are grilled dice them into forkable pieces and place in a large bowl along with the cooked couscous, olive oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper, tomatoes, cannellini beans; toss to combine
  5. Divide between two plates and top with feta cheese
  6. Enjoy!
