Couscous Salad is a light yet nourishing dish that evokes the freshness and flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Couscous, a staple made from finely ground wheat flour, provides the perfect base for this healthy salad. The salad's distinctive flavor comes from fresh vegetables and a tangy dressing, which complement each other beautifully.
Couscous salad is an ideal dish for summer days, but it can also be an excellent choice in winter when you're looking for something light yet flavorful. Preparing the salad is quick and easy, while it's also nutritious and healthy. The Mediterranean atmosphere is conjured up by the olive oil, lemon, and fresh vegetables, making it a perfect choice for a quick lunch or dinner.
