Couscous Salad with Avocado is a fresh and vibrant dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. It features fluffy couscous tossed with ripe avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh parsley, all brought together with a tangy lemon vinaigrette. This salad is packed with nutrients—avocado contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and potassium, while the vegetables offer a rich variety of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Couscous provides a quick source of energy as a light grain-based carbohydrate, though whole-grain options can add extra fiber. It's low in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a great addition to balanced diets. However, portions should be mindful of the calorie content from couscous and avocado. Perfect as a standalone dish or a side, this salad is a delightful blend of flavor and nutrition that meets both health-focused and culinary cravings.
