400ml vegetable stock
Juice of 2 lemons plus the grated zest of 1
60ml extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed

8 spring onions, sliced

1 tbsp coriander, chopped

Here is how you make Lemony Couscous Salad with Herbs:

Place the couscous in a large bowl and pour over the hot stock. Let sit for 10 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed, then fluff it gently with a fork.. Mix together the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over the still-warm couscous and stir through. (Adding the dressing while the couscous is warm allows it to absorb more flavour.) Halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut into long strips, then into small dice. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions and herbs to the couscous, tasting and adding more seasoning if necessary. Serve as a salad or lunch on the go.
