Lemon Cucumber Couscous Salad. A quick & easy flavourful side dish or a light vegetarian lunch all on its own.
Lemon Cucumber Couscous Salad
Here’s a good basic recipe for a tasty vegetarian lunch or delicious side dish. We often add to this recipe to create different versions by adding such ingredients as crumbled feta cheese, minced chili peppers, olives or toasted almonds.
Raisins, bell peppers, dried cranberries all work well too. Also try using using orange instead of lemon; your imagination will yield plenty of possibilities.
Simple flavours like lemon can really brighten up a dish.
We found this coloured couscous which added even more visual pop to this colourful salad. Plain or instant couscous will be just as good in this recipe. Larger grained Israeli couscous is also excellent.
This would make a terrific side dish at a summer barbecue as well as being a welcome addition to any pot luck buffet table.
