Method
Salads needn’t be boring. Try this giant couscous salad with a vegan Parmesan pesto for a great addition to a salad bar or food-to-go-pots. To make the pesto dressing
- First make the pesto by toasting the pine kernels in a hot pan.
- Place the pine kernels into a food blender and add the garlic, salt and half the fresh basil. Blend until smooth then add the remainder of the basil and olive oil.
- Continue to blend until smooth and mixed then fold in the Parmesan. Place into a bowl until required.
- Cook the giant couscous as per the instructions on the pack.
- Tumble all the other salad ingredients including 150g of the pesto.
