yogurt dressing

Hello everyone !!!

These bowls where dying to go outside!!! … This delicious and refreshing  Couscous Salad with yogurt dressing is a great occasion to use them.

Those of you who know me well  already know that I´m crazy about dishes, glassware and, and , and … anyway… I could not resist and here they are … COLOR IS JOY and these little bowls are great for summer.

 Like this Couscous Salad !!!

Looks like the heat has joined us and is going to stay for a while.  Salads start becoming the best option and Couscous is one of my favourite ones.

I like the salads that you can prepare in advance and later, with a couple of other ingredients it becomes a complete meal. It is very practical to have them in the fridge and be able to eat when we feel like it, especially on summer holidays … or if you have a son like mine, always opening the fridge and asking … is there something to eat MOM ???

This Couscous salad is also the perfect lunchbox meal… to work … to the beach!!!

I always make it my way, I don’t follow an exact recipe….it depends on the ingredients I have, or with what I´m serving it with.

I normally add a bit of cucumber, tomato, pepper ( I like to mix distinct colors) a little bit of spring onion, and I like using herbs. I really like such as coriander and fresh mint.

To get a flavorful salad I like to add a light lemony vinaigrette to the couscous. It´s simple, all you need is olive oil,  Dijon mustard, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice .  Whisk together until creamy, and then season with salt and pepper and you´re done.

The Couscous will soak up all the vinaigrette , so when it comes to serving I like to accompany it with a separate  yogurt dressing,  so that each one serves himself to his liking.

Once the Couscous is dressed, It´s up to you for what else you add.

This salad goes perfectly with meat, fish, shellfish etc…. or simply with well chopped fresh vegetables is ideal…..

Which one would you like? …the blue one is mine!!!!!
