Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Couscous

    In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of Israeli pearl couscous and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the couscous is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad Ingredients

    While the couscous is cooling, wash and dry the baby arugula thoroughly. Dice the medium tomato and set aside. If the roasted pumpkin seeds are unsalted, you may want to toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled Israeli pearl couscous, baby arugula, black currants, roasted pumpkin seeds, diced tomato, dried sweet corn, and grated asiago cheese. Toss gently to mix all ingredients evenly.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Salad

    Divide the arugula salad mixture into serving bowls or plates. Drizzle the pesto ranch dressing on top or serve it on the side for diners to add according to their preference.
