FLUFFY COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with about 75ml of boiling water. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
LOAD IT WITH FLAVOUR
To the bowl of cooked couscous, add the lentils, the julienne carrots, the halved olives, the rinsed green leaves, and seasoning. In a separate bowl, combine the yoghurt, the lemon juice (to taste), seasoning, and water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
