Seeing as I was at home today I thought I'd take the opportunity to make something yummy to eat for lunch. I made this yummy salad and it didn't take long at all!
Ingredients:
Raw Spinach (As much as you like! )
Cucumber
Onion
Couscous
Coriander
Goats cheese
Cup of water
For the dressing I made:
Pesto
Olive Oil
Balsamic or cider vinegar
Pinch of salt
Cous Cous:
1) First it's time to prep the couscous as this needs to stand in order to cook. Bowl some water (enough to fill one - to one and a half cups)
2) Pour one cups worth of couscous into a bowl
3) Chop up about 1/4 of a red onion, depending on how strong you like it add more or less.
4) Chop up a small handful of coriander
5) Add your chopped veggies to the dry couscous and pour 1-1.5 cups of water on top. Cover with a lid or plate and set aside.
The salad:
6) Chuck as much spinach as ya like into a bowl, I used a couple of handfuls...
7) Chop some cucumber up and add it to the bowl...
The dressing:
8) Add one teaspoon of green pesto into a bowl
9) Add a tablespoon of olive oil and vinegar (add more to get it to your taste)
10) add a pinch of salt and mix until it's a pouring consistency
Adding it all together:
11) if the couscous is soft then its ready! Add your couscous mix on top of your salad..
12) pour your dressing on top
13) crumble some goats cheese on top and add some black pepper.
AND VOILLA! Healthy and yummy!
Add as much veg as you like, tomatoes, celery, carrots...you can't go wrong...I was just making the most out of what I had in the fridge :)
