This cous cous salad recipe includes a variety of summer vegetables, lime, fresh herbs, and slivered almonds. The video also includes a recipe for a quick cucumber yogurt sauce.
I cooked the cous cous in some collagen-heavy stock that I made a few days ago, but you can use vegetable stock or whatever you like here! I also plated into a ring mold, with a little hummus and cucumber yogurt sauce on top, if you are looking for some fun plating ideas:
