Very easy to make, healthy, and stores well in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • Couscous: Check the instructions
  • Cucumber: Diced
  • Feta or White Cheese: Diced
  • Dates: Cut a similar size to the cucumber and feta
  • Tomato: Optional
  • Carrots: Optional
  • Spring Onions: Optional
  • Salt and Pepper: As much as you want
  • Mayonaise: (Optional) Homemade if you can :)

Steps

  1. Couscous: Put in a bowl. Poor over boiling water, cover with a plate and wait 5 minutes.

  2. Salad: Dice everything into a similar size and place into the same bowl. I like to put salt and pepper, drizzle some olive oil, and mix it before adding the dates. Throw a spoon of mayo in it and mix it around some more.

  3. Presentation: Put the couscous in individual bowls and let people dish up the rest of the salad themselves, or just mix it all together and then dish it up.

  4. Storage: Put the leftovers in the container in the fridge and eat the next day.
