This salad is a staple in my kitchen whenever the weather warms up. It brings together sweet peaches, crunchy corn, and cool cucumbers for a mix of textures that feels like summer in a bowl.

I love how the honey lime dressing ties everything together with a zesty kick. My best tip is to let the salad sit for about ten minutes before serving so the couscous has time to soak up all those lovely flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry couscous
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 ripe peaches, diced
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a small saucepan.

  2. 2

    Stir in the couscous, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat.

  3. 3

    Let the couscous sit for five minutes, then fluff it gently with a fork and let it cool.

  4. 4

    Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper together in a small jar to make the dressing.

  5. 5

    Place the cooled couscous in a large bowl and add the peaches, corn, cucumber, cilantro, and mint.

  6. 6

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for a refreshing treat.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. This salad is excellent served alongside grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
