Korčula salad.

The name I gave to a salad I first experienced in Korčula, Croatia. Unbelieveable salad, really. It was listed on the menu as "couscous salad".

All ingredients need to be in balance. This salad is about the totality of the whole. It is not about any one thing.

My version tonight:

- arugula
- couscous
- chickpeas
- chopped green onions
- feta
- crushed roasted salted almonds
- kalamata olives
- peperoncini
- halved cherry tomatoes
- EVOO
- fresh squeezed lemon juice
- lemon confit
- salt and pepper

Subs:

- flat (Italian) parsley is authentic, arugula is a sub
- fresh melon is authentic, I had no melon today
- red onion is authentic, I wanted green onions this time
- sir cheese is authentic, there is no sir in this area so I used feta
- peperoncini is not authentic, I added it because I like it
- fresh mint is not authentic, but would be wonderful
- fresh dill is not authentic, but would be wonderful
