10 Minute Couscous Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Tip the couscous into a large bowl and pour over the stock. Cover, then leave for 10 mins until fluffy and all the stock has been absorbed. Meanwhile, slice the onions and pepper, and dice the cucumber. Add these to the couscous, fork through the pesto, crumble in the feta, then sprinkle over pine nuts to serve.

Steps:

• For the couscous: Combine the couscous, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper in a large heatproof bowl and stir well to combine. Pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over the couscous and immediately cover tightly with plastic wrap. After 10 minutes, uncover, fluff well with a fork and stir in the pistachios, mint and scallions.
• For the zucchini noodle salad: Meanwhile, put the zucchini noodles in a colander set over a bowl and toss well with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sit until the zucchini has softened and purged some moisture, about 5 minutes. Press well to expel any extra moisture and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the tomatoes, feta, corn, basil, olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the salmon: Put the salmon on a microwave-safe plate, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Spread with the chile spread and cover with another microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes depending on your microwave.
