Hola !!
I am back with a new recipe :). This time its a quick to make warm Couscous salad with Veggies. I am so excited to share this recipe that I am typing this as I eat it :D. Very unlike me !
Couscous / Dalia both have origin in Wheat but are from different variety of wheat I believe. Dalia / broken wheat is what is easily available in India and that is what I used in the recipe. You can use couscous or Millets as well for this salad. Herbs add a beautiful freshness to the salad and the flavorful vegetables shine!
This is a simple quick lunch packed with natural flavor of veges and their yummy crunch. I’ve cooked the vegetables slightly but they can be left raw as well ! So do try this recipe. Make your modifications ! And let me know how it turns out for you 🙂
