About Cous cous salad

Couscous salad is a nutritious and versatile dish originating from North African cuisine, often enjoyed worldwide for its light yet satisfying profile. It features fluffy couscous—tiny pasta made from semolina—as its base, typically complemented by a colorful mix of fresh vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onions. Herbs like parsley, mint, or cilantro lend vibrant flavor, while olive oil, lemon juice, and spices such as cumin or paprika are used to create a zesty dressing. Rich in fiber from the vegetables and whole-grain couscous, this salad supports healthy digestion and offers essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and potassium. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, but moderating its use can keep calories in check. Suitable for vegetarians, it's often customizable with protein options like chickpeas or grilled chicken to make a balanced meal. Refreshing and nutrient-packed, couscous salad is ideal for a wholesome, quick bite.
