If you’re anything like us, you love cooking. But despite our love for rustling up healthy, hearty dishes, some days we just want something super quick and simple which requires no concentration whatsoever.

Well, this super simple vegan couscous salad is the perfect dish for those sort of days. This fresh, tasty couscous recipe will fill you up, is really healthy, full of fibre and takes no more than 15 minutes to prepare and cook – you can’t really go wrong! Plus, you can pretty much chuck in/substitute any spare nuts, seeds, fruit and veggies you have lying around; so don’t worry if you don’t have all the ingredients.

We’ve added the Nutribuddy Nutrient Booster into this healthy couscous salad recipe, but it’s totally optional. Our handy little pack of superfoods is a quick and convenient way to add a boost of vitamins and antioxidants to your shakes, smoothies and salad (it gives things a really satisfying crunch!).
