My wife loves couscous salad. Delicious and satisfying, it is perfect for fasting days. I add fresh vegetables to it, as well as sun-dried tomatoes, peanuts and raisins. Real jam!

Pin Recipe Instructions
- Pour boiling water over the couscous. Cover with a lid. It will infuse and swell in just 5 minutes. If you decide to cook it, keep it in water for no longer than two minutes. And you need enough water to just cover the bite.
- Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Peel the bell peppers and cut into small pieces. Chop the cucumber also finely. Chop dried apricots, raisins, sun-dried tomatoes and peanuts. Combine them first in a separate cup, then add to fresh vegetables.
- When the couscous is ready, add vegetables to it, with peanuts and dried fruits, add olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and stir.
- Pour the prepared salad with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Bon Appetit.
