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
  1. First make the pesto by toasting the pine kernels in a hot pan.
  2. 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.
  3. Continue to blend until smooth and mixed then fold in the Parmesan. Place into a bowl until required.
To make the salad
  1. Cook the giant couscous as per the instructions on the pack.
  2. Tumble all the other salad ingredients including 150g of the pesto.
