Warm Mediterranean Couscous Salad with Roasted Aubergine and Feta

Warm Mediterranean Couscous Salad with Roasted Aubergine and Feta- a warm, vegetarian salad, perfect for summer lunches.



Warm Mediterranean Couscous Salad with Roasted Aubergine and Feta is a new recipe that we have eaten regularly in the last few weeks. It is a light, summery (and vegetarian) recipe that I created to solve two problems 1) I just can't get enough of roasted aubergine and different ways to eat it 2) Britain's hottest weather since 1976 means I just can't face cooking anything heavy.

I have used my favourite giant couscous yet again for this recipe, rather than the more conventional kind. It's more substantial and mixes much better with a sauce due to being naturally slippery, rather than having a rough texture. The Mediterranean Couscous Salad is rich with tomato sauce, garlic, onion and peppers and is perfectly topped off with nutty roasted aubergine and some creamy feta cheese. Fresh coriander makes the perfect finishing touch.

We have eaten it warm for dinner but it's pretty delicious cold for lunch the next day too. A smaller portion would make a lovely starter, if you're having people round.

So if you want something light to eat, in the boiling temperatures, that has lots flavour and is vegetarian, then Warm Mediterranean Couscous Salad with Roasted Aubergine and Feta is one to try! Approx 480 calories per portion.
