About Couscous salad

Couscous Salad is a light and flavorful dish rooted in North African cuisine, now enjoyed worldwide for its versatility and wholesome ingredients. Typically made with steamed couscous grains, the salad incorporates a colorful mix of fresh vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers, often paired with fresh herbs like parsley or mint for added aroma. Some variations include chickpeas or crumbled feta for extra protein. Dressed with olive oil and lemon juice, it delivers a zesty, refreshing taste. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, Couscous Salad is a nutritious choice, especially when whole-grain couscous is used. Its high complex carbohydrate content provides sustained energy, while the vegetables and herbs contribute antioxidants. However, be mindful of added extras like excessive oil, cheese, or sodium in prepackaged versions, which can reduce its health benefits. Accessible, delicious, and nutrient-packed, Couscous Salad is perfect for a balanced meal or side dish.
