Steps
- Trim the tough ends of the asparagus off. Lay them on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1-2 Tbps olive oil, salt and cracked pepper. Roast in the oven at 325, until just tender, about 20-25 minutes. Cut into bite size pieces. You can also grill the asparagus (in the video!).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Israeli Couscous, and cook until al dente. (8-10 minutes.)
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl, stir all ingredients together.
- Drain couscous, and place in a large bowl. Toss it with the dressing, olives, asparagus, feta, pine nuts, fresh herbs, scallions and lemon zest.
- Taste and adjust salt and lemon to your liking.
- Serve warm, or chill and serve as a salad.
- Enjoy!
