  • 20g (1tbsp) Honey
  • 6g (1 Clove) Garlic, Chopped and Crushed

Instructions
 

  • Heat 100 Grams of your preferred Liquid Stock in a small pan, until it bubbles lightly. Turn off the heat, then add 75 Grams of dry Cous Cous, stir, cover, and set aside
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop 150 Grams of Cherry Tomatoes, 150 Grams of Cucumber, 150 Grams of Red Bell Pepper, and 75 Grams of Red Onion. Then put the whole lot in a salad bowl and toss nonchalantly
  • Using your hands, gently tear the Fresh Basil into small pieces, and throw in with the vegetables. Then, add 3 Grams of the finest Salt, and 2 Grams of Freshly Ground Black Pepper. Mix lightly until everything is evenly distributed
  • Now, take a small jar, and add 30 Grams of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 30 Grams of Red Wine Vinegar, 15 Grams of Lemon Juice, 20 Grams of Honey, and 6 Grams of Garlic, and secure the lid. Then shake the jar like a madman, and pour the resulting dressing over the salad
  • Take the previously prepared Cous Cous, use a fork to separate the grains, and add it to the salad. Then stir until satisfyingly distributed
  • Finally, using your hands once again, take the Feta Cheese, and crumble it into the mix, and turn a couple of times with a salad spoon for good measure
  • Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Classic Mediterranean Salad!
