A light, colorful salad of couscous steeped in hot water, tossed with red and yellow bell peppers, tomato, and a lemon and olive oil dressing. This popular Moroccan staple makes a convenient lunch with just a few ingredients.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Steep the couscous

10 min

Place the couscous in a large bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover it. Cover the bowl and let it stand for 10 minutes.

2

Separate the grains

3 min

Rub the steeped couscous gently between your fingertips to separate the grains.

3

Add the vegetables

7 min

Dice the red and yellow bell peppers and tomato, then add them to the couscous with the mint.

4

Toss with the dressing and serve

3 min

Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and mix well. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Reminder

Important: Add only enough hot water to just cover the couscous. Too much water will make it mushy, while too little will leave it dry and firm. Separate the grains with your fingertips rather than a fork.

Tereyağı yerine zeytinyağı kullandım, yine de güzel oldu.

Bence tarif biraz fazla şekerli, herkese göre değişir tabii. Ben bu kadar uzun pişirmenin gerekli olduğunu düşünmüyorum, daha kısada da oluyor. Baharat miktarı bana ağır geldi, biraz azaltılabilir.
