Apple couscous, feta & fresh herb salad
For two weeks I’ve been making myself different couscous salads every other day, using whatever I can find in the kitchen (edible stuff, of course). It’s been a great way to discover new tastes.
In a salad, grated apple—as opposed to apple cubes—makes a big difference. There’s joy in every bite!
Lime juice keeps the apples white, so don’t forget to add it!
