Grilled Apricot Couscous Salad

Grilling apricots enhances their sweetness and flavor magnificently. This salad combines the sweet notes of the fruit, the bitterness of arugula, a touch of sourness as well as a hint of spice from the vinaigrette, all complemented by pearl couscous, adding body to the salad.

Step 1

Cook the couscous according to the directions on the packaging and allow to cool a little.

Step 2

Mix all the ingredients for the vinaigrette.

Step 3

Add the vinaigrette to the couscous and allow the couscous to soak up the flavors of the vinaigrette.

Step 4

In the meantime, wash the apricots (no need to peel them). Cut them in half and remove the seed. Cut each half in 4 slices.

Step 5

Brush the cut-sides with olive oil. Place them, cut-side down, on a medium–hot grill or grill pan until markings are showing and the slices are beginning to soften, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side.

Step 6

Add arugula, strawberries slices and grilled apricots to couscous mixture.

Step 7

Add finely chopped parsley and pistachio nuts to the couscous and mix well but carefully, as you want to keep the apricot slices whole.

Step 8

Plate the salad and garnish with goat cheese.
