Description
This couscous salad is an absolute highlight for every barbecue or as a light lunch! I especially like to make it in the summer when the tomatoes and peppers are nice and ripe. The fresh lemon and aromatic herbs give the salad a special touch. The couscous absorbs the flavors wonderfully and makes it really juicy. If you like, you can crumble some sheep's cheese over it - it's a perfect match! The salad can be prepared very well and tastes delicious even the next day. A real all-rounder that is always well received!

Prepare couscous
Add 150 ml water, 100 ml olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice and salt to the mixing bowl and mix for 5 sec/speed 3. Then pour the couscous into a bowl and pour the liquid over it. Leave to swell for 5 minutes and add a little olive oil and lemon juice if necessary if the couscous is too dry. Put garlic cloves in the mixing bowl and chop for 3 sec/speed 7. Stir the chopped garlic into the couscous.
Prepare spice mixture
Grate the zest of one lemon and add it to the mixing bowl together with cumin, caraway, coriander, parsley, salt and pepper. Chop for 10 sec/speed 8. Add the spice mixture to the couscous and mix in.
Prepare vegetables
Wash cucumber. Core peppers and tomatoes. Cut everything into small cubes and place in a large bowl.
Sauté onions
Peel, halve and place the red onion in the mixing bowl. Chop for 3 sec/speed 5. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté for 3 min./120°C/speed 1. Add balsamic vinegar and reduce for 1 min./100°C/speed 1. Add the onions to the rest of the salad.
