Recipe steps
A salad with vegetables and couscous can be a good choice.
We will go buy quality vegetables and wash them thoroughly at home. We will chop them on a cutting board. We will finely chop the herbs in a hand mixer.
In a pot, we pour a little oil and add chopped garlic. We add chili peppers (without seeds). We sprinkle in the spring onion. We lightly sauté everything. Now it’s time for the vegetable broth that we prepared earlier. We let it simmer. We take the couscous and carefully pour it into the pot. We turn off the stove. We stir and let it rest.
Separately, we will make a dressing for the salad.
We mix lemon juice and olive oil. We set it aside.
We prepare a deep bowl (I use a glass one). We put in mint, parsley (or other herbs, e.g., basil). We tear up the lettuce leaves (the types depend on you) and add them to the bowl. We sprinkle in the chopped tomatoes. We add the couscous. We stir. We pour in the salad dressing. We season. We gently stir everything again and we can serve.
Additional information about the recipe Salad with vegetables and couscous
A salad with vegetables and couscous is a light and refreshing dish, perfect for summer days. The base of this salad consists of fresh ingredients like cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion, which provide freshness and vitamins to the dish. Couscous, a fine wheat semolina, cooks quickly and absorbs the flavors from the ingredients wonderfully. Seasoning with lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs such as mint or parsley gives the salad an aromatic scent and a slight acidity. This salad is not only tasty but also nutritious and easy to prepare, making it an ideal choice for a quick lunch or dinner.
