Couscous Salad

Couscous is a healthy grain, made from crushed durum wheat semolina that is formed into small granules. It's a North African dish. 

From living in East Africa and through my African friends, I have learnt to prepare different versions of the couscous salad. I normally prepare my salad with green vegetables like cucumber, cabbage, avocado and more. It's simple and healthy.

While I often serve this alongside some grilled chicken, sometimes I serve this salad as a dinner meal on it's own. The combination of couscous and vegetables, is high in protein, light on the stomach and healthy for the body. 

Children, too, love to eat this salad as it is not just veggies. The addition of the couscous makes the dish fun and the mixture is colorful.
