Couscous, Veggie, and Feta Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pearl couscous
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half moons
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 8 oz crumbled Israeli feta cheese

Directions:

  1. Cook the pearl couscous according to package directions. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
  2. In a small skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of the olive oil over low heat. Add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
