Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water or chicken broth to a rolling boil. Stir in 1 cup of couscous, cover the pot, and remove from heat. Let sit for about 10 minutes and fluff gently with a fork.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. Add 1 cup of frozen peas to the boiling water and blanch for 1-2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice bath.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the fluffed couscous, blanched peas, a handful of chopped parsley, crumbled feta, and chopped walnuts. Toss gently to combine.
- In a blender, combine 1 cup of basil leaves, 1/2 cup of olive oil, a halved shallot, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss until all ingredients are coated. Serve immediately or chill for an hour for enhanced flavors.
