Fruity Couscous Salad

Why? An easy to prepare and pack recipe with tons of fruit in it - nutritious and good for your taste buds! You can either prepare it before work and take in a plastic tub or take the fruit and spring onions prepared and combine at work with freshly made quick-cook couscous for a hot meal.

Number of Portions: 4

Shopping List

• 1kg pack couscous
• 200g of flaked almonds
• 250g apricots
• 500g raisins
• Bunch spring or salad onions
• salt, pepper and cumin to taste

How to Prepare:

Prepare about a 1/4 of the pack of couscous to the guidelines on the pack (for ease you should be able to buy quick-cook couscous and simply add the water). Combine in a bowl with 50g flaked almonds, about 1/4 of the pack of apricots (chopped), 80g of raisins (if you don't have a measure just chuck in a handful!) and a couple of the spring onions (finely sliced) - the bunch should last you 4 days. Add salt and peper to taste and cumin if you have it available. This lunch idea has been taken from this recipe for Fruity Couscous Salad on allrecipes.com with slighty altered quantities to suit the typical pack sizes you buy in supermarkets.
