Lovely salad! I halved this to use up some frozen green beans and corn and it worked well. I used 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 2 Tbsp olive oil and added a good grinding of fresh black pepper. Since feta cheese doesn't come in slices here I just used what looked good, which ended up being around 80-90g for the halved recipe. Great by itself but will also be good with tomorrow's dinner: recipe #290645. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great vegetarian dish, I just love it! I added everything together, while the couscous was still warm, so the vegetables were slightly heated, and the feta cheese was slightly melted, which made for a great taste. It tastes good both hot and completely cooled, and also made for great leftovers.
