Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the medium beetroot and cook for about 20 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced with a fork. Once cooked, remove the beetroot from the pot and let it cool before peeling and cubing it into bite-sized pieces, setting it aside.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the couscous and toast it for approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it becomes lightly golden and aromatic.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed beetroot, toasted couscous, blanched green peas, and freshly chopped mint. Gently fold the ingredients together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and use a gentle hand to toss everything together.
- If you're using goat cheese, crumble it over the salad just before serving. Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Notes
Prepare the salad without goat cheese and mint, cover, and refrigerate to enhance flavors until serving. Ensure beetroot is fully cooked for the best texture.
