Couscous salad

Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 1 cup couscous
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 cucumber(s)
• 500 g cocktail tomatoes
• 1 bunch of spring onions
• 1 can of green olives
• 1 lemon(s)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• some parsley
• possibly turmeric powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 20 minutes

with cucumbers, tomatoes and olives

Mix the couscous with the melted butter and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and spring onions and combine in a bowl. Mix the lemon juice with the soy sauce and olive oil. Add pepper, chopped parsley, and a little turmeric, if desired. Mix the couscous with the salad and then toss with the sauce. Finally, add the olives (split if desired). Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least two hours. The couscous will absorb the liquid from the tomato and cucumber, which will increase the volume of the salad. Then mix again and season with soy sauce and pepper if desired.
