Couscous Salad

4 servings

20 minutes

Couscous salad is a light and aromatic dish from Arab cuisine. The main ingredient, couscous, has been an essential product for the peoples of the Maghreb since ancient times. In this recipe, it combines with juicy sweet peppers, tomatoes, tangy olives, and fresh parsley to create a harmony of flavors and textures. The addition of sunflower seeds and pine nuts gives the salad a crunchy note, while olive oil enriches the taste. This salad not only refreshes on hot days but also complements meat and fish dishes beautifully. Its simplicity and elegance make it an ideal choice for a light dinner or festive table.
