Couscous Salad

This was the couscous I served with my chermoula prawn skewers.

This salad takes 15 to 20 minutes to make,  which is ideal,

as it can be made while the prawns are marinading.



INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

200g Couscous

200ml Water
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lebanese Cucumber, seeds removed, diced
1/2 Red Onion, finely sliced
2 Tbsps Mint, chopped
2 Tbsps Lemon Juice 
Salt & Pepper, to season

Optional Extras:
1 Capsicum, seeds removed, diced
2 Tomatoes, seeds removed, diced
200g Canned Chickpeas, rinsed and drained

METHOD

Place the couscous in a large bowl.

Place the water and  olive oil in a saucepan, bring to just boiling point, then pour over the couscous.
Add the lemon juice, stir until combined. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.

Fluff couscous with a fork and season with salt and pepper.

Stir in the cucumber, onion, and mint.

Serve.

I served this with my Chermoula Prawn Skewers and Tzatziki.
