Instructions

  1. Prepare the couscous with the vegetable stock according to the instructions on the package. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix well. Set aside for now.
  2. Peel the onion and chop finely. Clean the peppers and cut into small cubes. Peel the cucumber and dice it a little more coarsely.

  4. Prepare a dressing from the yogurt, the remaining lemon juice, parsley and salt and serve with the salad.
