Yummy flavours! 😍 But the couscous didn’t work very well - is it meant to be paper towel or baking paper?
Otherwise it was incredible!!

Love this recipe. The dressing is a definite highlight and its a gerat dish to take to work. My only addition is some chicken.
The dressing was lovely. The cous cous didn't work out so had to cook it on the stove. A nice salad.
This one was a hit in the household. Vey different flavours but they worked beautifully together.
I used roasted pumpkin and sweet potato in the salad - it was very tasty and presented really well. I might go a little easy on the lemon juice next time. Will definately make again. Thank you for sharing.
Delicious! We really enjoyed this - I have moved it straight into my favourites folder. The dressing was spicy and yum! I added pan fried chicken breasts on top of the salad and it was a full and balanced meal for my household. The dressing would be yumming with prawns also. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful dish. Cheers!
Sorry to hear about the cous cous - I have never had a problem with mine. I would make sure the baking paper is wet and the cous cous is very damp. Even sprinkle some extra water on top.
Thank you Marinachalmers for the recipe and for getting bak to me about the ingredients.
What a delicious healthy fresh salad. The flavours of the yoghurt dressing are amazing, I added half a chilli, next time I'll use the whole chilli.
I cooked the cous cous on the stove top and baked the pumpkin and sweet potato.
My new favourite recipe, I'm having left overs for lunch tomorrow and not sharing
This was absolutely beautiful!
I don't know what I did wrong with the cous cous though as it was still dry at the end. I just quickly made the cous cous the conventional way before adding it to the salad.
I also added the shredded meat of a whole BBQ chicken.
A lovely salad that I look forward to having again!
Thank you marinachalmers!
Hi Liz
My apologies - it is an error on my end. I used to use fish sauce but found the sweet soy sauce gave the dressing a much nicer sweet/salty flavour.
I have updated the recipe
Cheers
