About Meditarian cous cous
Mediterranean Couscous is a flavorful dish inspired by the vibrant and wholesome cuisine of the Mediterranean region. The base consists of light, fluffy couscous, a tiny pasta made from semolina wheat, often combined with fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and red onions. Common additions include olives, chickpeas, feta cheese, and parsley, all tossed in a tangy olive oil and lemon dressing. Known for its balance of carbohydrates, fiber, and healthy fats, this dish is rich in essential nutrients and promotes heart health, thanks to the olive oil and antioxidant-rich vegetables. Protein can be added through options like grilled chicken or chickpeas, making it versatile for various diets. However, portion control is key, as couscous is relatively high in carbs, and toppings like feta and olives contribute salt and fat. It's a light yet satisfying option for a health-conscious meal with a Mediterranean flair.
