Salads are very healthy. I loved making this couscous salad and it was very tasty. It is also good for the school lunches.

1. Put 250g of couscous in a bowl. Add boiling water, just enough to cover it. Cover the bowl with a cling film  or put a plate on top. Set it aside until the couscous absorbs the water..
2. Meanwhile, finely chop 2 tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 cucumber, half a bunch of coriander, half a bunch of parsley and a few mint leaves. Let an adult help you with the chopping.
3. Fluff up the couscous with a spoon or your hand. Add salt to taste, 1 tsp of paprika and 1 Tbsp of tomato purée.
4. Add all the chopped vegetables and herbs, then mix thoroughly.
5. Add lemon juice according to your taste.
6. Add garlic, olive oil and pepper, then mix.

Tips:

• Vegetable stock can be added to couscous instead of just water.
• This couscous salad can be topped with some feta cheese or chicken or lamb.
