O salata cu multe legume, paste si arome de vara: salata mediteraneana de cuscus, cu pastele Arnos. Indiferent ca o serviti la pranz sau cina, aceasta salata e gata super repede, colorata, gustoasa si hranitoare, mi-a placut la nebunie. Si mi se pare o reteta foarte usoara si hranitoare :) Mai multe retete cu pastele Arnos gasiti pe canalul lor de Youtube aici.
Ingrediente (3-4 portii):
- 125g cuscus Arnos
- 150g rosii cherry
- 1 castravete
- 1 ardei capia rosu, 1 ardei mic galben
- 1 tija de telina Apio
- 150g naut (din conserva)
- 1/2 ceapa rosie
- 60g masline
- 100g branza Feta(telemea sau Tofu)
- 2 lg ulei de masline
- 1/2 lgt sare
- cateva fire de patrunjel
- 1/2 lgt oregano uscat
- 1 lg otet din cidru de mere
Punem 400ml de apa la fiert, cand clocoteste adaugam cuscusul Arnos (125g, adica jumatate de punga) si fierbem la foc mic cam 6 minute, apoi oprim focul si lasam pastele sa se umfle. Intre timp tocam legumele: rosiile, castravetele, ardeii, ceapa rosie, telina, patrunjelul.
Taiem cubulete branza Feta (merge si cu telemea sau chiar Tofu), scurgem bine nautul din conserva. Pentru dressing amestecam zeama de lamaie, otetul, sare, piper si oregano. Intr-un bol maaaare amestecam toate ingredientele: legumele, pastele cuscus racite, branza, maslinele, nautul, dressingul.
Servim salata imediat, dar e buna si mai tarziu, dupa ce se imbina si mai bine aromele :) Iese un bol foarte mare plin cu salata, asa ca am estimat cam 3-4 portii :) Pofta mare!
