Davide’s Favourite Summer Salad, with a Touch of Sardinia

Davide grew up on Italian food, and pearl couscous feels familiar. It reminds him of fregola, the toasted Sardinian pasta that looks almost identical and cooks the same way: soft, chewy and ready to soak up whatever it’s tossed with. Of all the dishes he makes with it, this Christmas salad is his favourite.

Green lentils and chickpeas make it hearty enough to be a meal rather than a side. Sweet potato, capsicum and eggplant are roasted until soft and sweet, then mixed with sultanas for sweetness, almonds for crunch, and generous handfuls of parsley, mint and coriander to keep it fresh and light. It’s finished with extra virgin olive oil and lemon, nothing more, because with this much going on the dressing only needs to bring everything together.

Enjoy it cold from the fridge or gently warmed. It works as a side with fish or lamb, or as a satisfying meatless lunch, which is how Davide likes to eat it.

This can be served cold or slightly warmed.
