About Salad with couscous

Salad with couscous is a vibrant dish inspired by Mediterranean and North African cuisine, offering a flavorful blend of wholesome ingredients. This salad typically features fluffy couscous as the base, which is combined with diced vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Fresh herbs such as parsley or mint add aromatic brightness, while lemon juice and olive oil create a light, tangy dressing. Optional additions might include chickpeas for added protein, feta cheese for a creamy texture, or dried fruits like raisins for a touch of sweetness. Couscous is a quick-cooking grain made from semolina, providing energy-rich carbohydrates. The dish is rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from the fresh vegetables and herbs, while olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats. Moderation is key for elements like cheese or dried fruits, which can add sodium or sugar. It's a balanced, refreshing option perfect for a nutritious meal or side dish.
