Prepare the couscous according to the package instructions. After cleaning and washing the cucumber, and halving it lengthwise, remove the seeds and then slice it. Remove the stems from the washed tomatoes, then deseed and dice them. Wash the spring onions and slice them into rings. Wash and roughly chop the cleaned mint. Dice the Leerdammer and mix well with the remaining ingredients. For the dressing, mix the yogurt with the oil and lime juice. Season with cumin, salt, pepper, and sugar. Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving. Tip: Instead of the mint, you can also top the salad with chopped parsley. Also delicious: Serve garnished with strips of grilled chicken breast, although this is not vegetarian.
