Couscous salad

This couscous salad, flecked with yellow capsicum, crunchy green cucumber, red onion, and tomato, is not only aesthetically pleasing but also healthful, vegan, and incredibly tasty. Our recipe for couscous salad is hidden in the dressing—a small tablespoon of hummus. This balances the tart lemon juice by adding a delicately creamy taste and texture. Because they can be prepared in advance and travel easily, couscous salads are perfect to bring to picnics and barbecues. Enjoy a bowl of this salad for a quick lunch or pair it with fried halloumi or a veggie tagline for a midweek meal. This adaptable salad pairs well with grilled fish and meats, such as our dukkah-spiced salmon, and is ideal for outdoor entertaining.
