Cous cous salad for busy lives

Ive just made a really nice salad that will keep for a few days in the fridge and is a quick and healthy 'grab' for on the go lifestyles

Combine chopped tomato, capsicum, coriander, mint leaves, spring onion, cucumber - add as much as you like of each - my total amount equalled about a cup.

3/4 uncooked cous cous - add a chicken stock cube, 1 cup hot water, 1/2 teasp butter - leave to 'fluff' and stir occasionally.

Once the cous cous cools add the chopped vegies, stir through.

Add 1 tabs lemon juice, 1 1/2 tabs olive oil, 1 teas red wine vinegar - shake up and stir through the lot.  Its ready to eat at this point or pop in in the fridge the flavours will infuse and it will be yummy for days to come!

To complete the meal add a hard boilded egg, or a can of tuna or salmon and you've got a well rounded, tasty, healthy meal.
