Couscous Salad with Broad Beans and Smoked Cheese

Couscous salad with broad beans and smoked cheese made as a flavorful, filling meal

This salad is built around contrast rather than decoration. Soft couscous, fresh beans, and smoky cheese come together in a way that feels grounded and full, not light for the sake of it.

Instructions

  1. Place the couscous in a bowl and pour over the hot water.
  2. Cover and let it sit until the grains are tender.
  3. Fluff the couscous with a fork to release steam.
  4. Add the broad beans while the couscous is still warm.
  5. Stir in olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  6. Add the red onion and smoked cheese.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper.
  8. Finish with fresh herbs and mix gently.

Serving ideas

Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. This salad works well on its own, but it also pairs nicely with grilled vegetables or simple roasted potatoes if you want to turn it into a fuller meal.
