Superfood Broccoli, Spinach & Couscous Salad

Share This Post

Superfood
noun
"a nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being"

As you can probably guess, we're a huge fan of superfoods here at Nutribuddy - our products are packed with them!

So, we thought we'd create a delicious, simple, healthy lunch recipe which is based on three of our all-time favourite superfoods - broccoli, spinach and couscous:

- Spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, folic acid, iron, and calcium (we could keep on writing for days!).
- Brocolli is chockablock with vitamins (we won't list them, you probably get the gist by now!) and also boasts potent antioxidants.
- Couscous is an amazing source of lean protein and fibre and will leave you feeling full enough to resist the snacks.

We love making this broccoli, spinach and couscous salad recipe the night before and taking it to the office for a convenient, energizing and healthy lunch - though it would totally work for dinner, too! With that said, let's get started:

Superfood Broccoli, Spinach & Couscous Salad

Prep & cooking time: 30 minutes | Serves: 1 | Vegan

INGREDIENTS

- A few broccoli florets, chopped
- Handful of spinach
- Small bunch of fresh mint
- 40g couscous
- ½ lemon
- Handful of mixed seeds or a scoop of Nutribuddy Nutrient Booster
- Pinch of ground cumin
- Pinch of salt & pepper

METHOD

  1. Cook the broccoli in boiling water for 4 mins until bright green and starting to soften.
  2. Plunge into cold water, then shake off the excess water and set aside.
  3. Put the boiled broccoli, spinach, mint, salt & pepper into a bowl.
  4. Pour the uncooked couscous on top.
  5. Toast the seeds in a dry frying pan and mix with the cumin.
  6. Pour boiling water into the bowl to just cover the couscous.
  7. Wait 8-10 minutes until the water is absorbed and the spinach is wilted.
  8. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and sprinkle with the toasted seeds. Voila - enjoy!
