Instructions

  1. Cook couscous according to package directions, using vegetable broth instead of water (brands may vary on recommended amount of liquid). Fluff with fork and transfer to large bowl to cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, bring medium saucepan of water to boil. Add edamame and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in peas. Drain immediately and rinse under cold running water until cool. Drain again.
  3. Heat 2 tsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and jalapeño and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add harissa and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in spinach just until slightly wilted. Add to couscous.
  4. Add remaining 1 tsp oil, lime juice, mint, salt, and pepper to couscous mixture and toss to combine. Sprinkle with feta and serve with lime wedges.
  5. Serving size: 1 cup salad and 1 tbsp feta
