Ingredients
Couscous
- ½ cup Couscous
- Drizzle of garlic and chilli oil
- ¼ tsp Mexican spice/ Any other Spice of your choice
- a pinch of salt
- Boiled water
Other ingredients
- Diced cucumber
- Diced Cherry tomatoes
- Diced sweet peppers
- Diced onion
- 1 can of chickpeas – drained
- 1 aubergine – baked until soft and diced
- A few olives
- 2 green chillies – finely chopped
- Fresh coriander – finely chopped
Dressing
- Olive Oil
- Lemon Juice
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Mixed herbs
- Mustard powder to taste
Method:
- In a small bowl add the couscous and spices and add boiling water, covering the couscous, slightly more than the couscous. Stir in the spices and cover for the couscous for about 10-15 minutes. This will fluff up and should be dry and not wet (if it is wet then there is more water than required).
- Add all other ingredients together and stir in the couscous.
Note:
- You can add different ingredients and feta cheese (my version is vegan).
- You can change the dressing to any other that you prefer. The dressing makes the salad tasty so choose one that you like.
- Make the salad colourful. And you can change the ingredients to suit your taste.
- Make the salad a mix of protein and fibre.
