Method
- Put the couscous in a large bowl. Dissolve the stock cube in 300ml (1/2 pt) of boiling water. Pour over the couscous and leave to stand for 5 minutes, fluffing up with a fork occasionally. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, brush both sides of the courgette slices with the oil. Cook on a preheated barbecue or griddle in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until softened and charred. Set aside to cool.
- To make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Add the mint leaves, cherry tomatoes and walnuts to the couscous with half of the dressing. Stir gently to combine.
- Add the courgette and toss gently. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter, crumble over the feta and drizzle over the remaining dressing.
