Description
This oriental couscous salad is an absolute highlight for any barbecue party or as a light meal in between. The combination of couscous, fresh mint, sweet dates and crunchy vegetables makes it a taste experience. I love how the fruity sweetness of the dates and honey harmonizes with the warm, earthy spices. The salad is quick to prepare and can be wonderfully prepared in advance. A dash of olive oil rounds everything off and ensures a pleasant consistency. Try it, you will be thrilled!
