OUR FAVORITE LEMON HERB COUSCOUS SALAD
We love this light couscous salad - it doubles as a side, can be the main event or works well topped with grilled chicken or Adam's favorite, shrimp! With lots of texture from crisp cucumber, sweet tomatoes, crunchy nuts and raisins, this is certainly one of our favorites. You can even make it ahead of time. See the notes section below for our tips.

Steps:
- To a large bowl, add the diced red pepper, tomatoes, cucumber, and sliced olives.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. If you have a large lemon with a lot of zest, start with around half then add more zest to taste later on.
- Heat a pan over low-medium heat and add the dried couscous to the dry pan. Toast for around 5 minutes or until golden brown, moving regularly to avoid burning.Note: I like to make couscous in a pan with a tight-fitting lid, as it lets me toast the couscous first. Toasting isn't necessary but adds extra flavour. If you don't want to do this, you can just add the dried couscous and liquid to a heat-proof bowl with a lid or cling film (plastic wrap) to create a tight fit.
- Once the couscous is toasted, remove the pan from the heat and pour over the boiling water or vegan stock. Cover with a lid and leave to steam for around 5 minutes or until the couscous is soft (it may take slightly longer depending on the variety).
- Once soft, fluff up the couscous lightly using a fork.
- Roughly chop the fresh basil. Add this to the bowl of veg along with the couscous and lemon dressing, then mix everything together well. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.
