Israeli cous cous salad
I think summer is just around the corner, or maybe I’m just hoping. As it warms up the meals in our house get lighter. I am always on that mission, (lose the 2 kilos that creep on over winter). More often than not, that 2 kilos stays put for summer.
I do however make lots more salads in summer and my husband doesn’t mind heading outside to BBQ the meat. This salad is one that you should make extra of. Its great the next day for lunch and travels well if you need to take a salad to a picnic or function.
Use this recipe as a guide only. Add what ever you like, fresh peas or blanched asparagus.
