Ingredients

  • 250g pre-cooked couscous
  • 400ml hot vegetable stock (or 1 heaped tsp Marigold vegetable bouillon with 400ml boiling water)
  • juice of 2 lemons plus the grated zest of 1
  • 75ml olive oil (extra virgin for a stronger flavour, regular oil for a lighter taste)
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ large cucumber
  • 4 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
  • 8 spring onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp mint, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coriander, chopped
Serves: 4 Preparation: 15 Cook Time: 10 Total Time: 25min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Place the couscous in a large bowl and pour over the hot stock. Let sit for minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed, then fluff it gently with a fork.
  2. Mix together the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over the still-warm couscous and stir through. (Adding the dressing while the couscous is warm allows it to absorb more flavour.)
