Ingredients
 

Step 1:

  • 500 g Couscous fine
  • 500 ml Boiling water
  • 15 g Sea salt

Step 2:

  • 250 g Lettuce hearts
  • 100 g Spring onions fresh
  • 40 g Fresh smooth parsley
  • 10 g Fresh dill
  • 10 g Peppermint fresh
  • 10 g Lemon balm fresh

Step 3:

  • 2 Fresh tomatoes
  • 1 Lemons fresh
  • 100 ml Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Sweet paprika powder
  • 3 tbsp Tomato paste concentrated three times
  • 5 tbsp Salsa sauce
  • 0,5 tbsp Black pepper from the mill
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions
 

  • The salad tastes very tasty and can be prepared great, e.g. as a party souvenir or on a picnic tour. Also ideally suited for the swimming pool cooler bag.
  • Add the salt to the boiling water and stir. Put the couscous in a bowl and slowly pour the salted water over it evenly. Stir the whole thing briefly, cover it with a lid and set aside (leave to swell for about 10 minutes).
  • Wash the herbs, the vegetables (save a few lettuce leaves for decoration) and the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces (diced tomatoes). Put everything in a second, larger bowl and set aside.
  • Mix the tomato paste, salsa sauce (or Heinz HOT ketchup), olive oil, lemon peel, lemon juice and mix with the paprika powder. Spread the sauce over the puffed couscous and stir in. Now pour the couscous over the salad and mix everything together. Season the whole thing with salt and pepper.

TIP 😉

  • So far the food is: Vegetarian / Vegan. A few delicious (organic) chicken breast strips also go very well with it.
  • Afiyet olsun, Bon Apetit, Bon appetit, Buon Appetito; Buen provecho wishes GregCheck
  • Instead of CouCous (African durum wheat semolina) you can also take bulgur (Turkish durum wheat), then the dish is called "Kisir salad"
