I can't take any of the credit for this one since it is all gina's creation (that's her on the left in the photo, i am on the right). i can say that this is a wonderful summer dish - very light and refreshing. easy too.
- cook couscous according to the package directions (plain couscous) (i made a double batch - 2c ea of water & couscous), set aside & let cool
- cut a zucchini into 4ths and slice it, put it on a baking sheet, spray w/ olive oil pam and fresh ground pepper, cook at 350 degrees just until it is soft (don't cook it all the way, maybe 5-10 mins), set aside and let cool (you can completely forego this step and substitute diced cucumbers - i haven't tried this yet but gina & i think it will be yummy. i will be able to report on this edit after my nexct try as i will use the cucumber next time, just so that i know)
- dice 1/4 of each of the following: red, green, yellow & orange peppers; red onion; sweet (vidalia) onion
- slice 1 scallion (the whole thing, white and green parts)
- put all the above ingredients in a big bowl with 1/2 cup crumbled feta; 3-4 tablespoons of good olive oil (please, for the sake of all things good and holy, please do not use spanish oil - greek is preferred, at least by me, but i might be biased :-P ); juice of 1/2 lemon
- mix well and chill for at least 2 hrs
- options prior to serving: mix in freshly sliced tomatoes and greek olives
- serve cold in smaller bowls and enjoy!
