Couscous salad: Morocco meets Mexico

BBQ season is upon us and what do we like more with a juicy steak or grilled vegetables? Salad...that is savoury and filling.

I am a massive fan of couscous and eat it as the carby basis for a saucy dish,
as an accompaniment for a rich casserole or tagine, or of course cold for lunch or in salad.

With some lovely spices and fresh vegetables, this turns into a salad that will impress even the most reluctant lettuce eaters and their loathing into love.

Serves 2-4; ready in 15min

DIY Sub Sandwich with Garlic Sauce

When you want to spend time outside, maybe go for a long walk, go to the park, or simply can't be bothered to spend too much time away from your terrace I suggest this simple snack/lunch!

What makes it great?? It doesn't need many ingredients, only the ones that YOU choose (or can find in your fridge)!

Fun fact of the day: The "Sub" as a name does not primarily refer to the large green/yellow retailer that offers customers the opportunity to "eat fresh" fast-food...NO! It originates from the name Submarine Sandwich, a food offered to Navy servicemen in the U.S. in WWI.
