100g couscous
100g cherry tomatoes
50g cashew nuts
1 handful of mint leaves, chopped
½ red onion
50g dried cranberries

Instructions

Pour hot water over the couscous according to the packaging instructions.
Meanwhile, slice the onion, cut in half the cherry tomatoes, then dry-fry the cashew nuts until golden.
Loosen the couscous with a fork then toss with the other ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
