Couscous salad with arugula

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 100 g couscous
• 150 ml vegetable broth, hot
• 1 handful of arugula
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp water
• ½ bag(s) of ready-made salad dressing mix (spicy garden herbs)
• 150 g cocktail tomatoes
• 100 g feta cheese
• 1 small onion(s), red
• Pepper, black from the mill

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour in the hot vegetable stock. Let it swell for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, rinse the arugula, wash and quarter the tomatoes, and dice the feta cheese. Peel, halve, and thinly slice the onion. If you like, you can sauté it briefly before mixing it in. I personally prefer raw onion; it adds a bit more flavor. Make a dressing from the ready-made mix, oil, and water. Add this to the couscous and mix well. Stir in the remaining ingredients and season with freshly ground black pepper if desired. This recipe makes 2 decent portions, or 3 regular-sized portions. You can vary the quantities depending on what you’re eating with it and what you’re serving with it.
