This Stetson Chopped Salad is most popular in Arizona and the Wild West. Known as a cowboy’s salad, it begins with a base of couscous and arugula topped with corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, avocado, toasted pepitas and dried currants for color, texture and a variety of flavor. Prepare a creamy, lemon juice, garlic, salt and ground prepare dressing to serve over.
To make Stetson Chopped Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small saucepan of boiling water, add couscous and stir. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover with lid and cook for about 8-10 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Transfer cooked couscous to a fine-mesh sieve, rinse with cold water and drain.
Layer arugula on a salad platter and top with couscous, corn, tomatoes, avocado, pepitas and currants in decorative, colorful rows or columns along the arugula.
In a food processor, add basil, buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, salt and ground pepper and pulse until smooth.
Dress salad with prepared dressing, before serving.
