Arabic Lentil Salad

50g Cypressa Organic Wholemeal Couscous
50 ml vegetable stock
150g celery stalks, finely chopped
300g cucumber, seed and diced small
300g tomatoes diced small
150g spring onions finely chopped
4 stalks fresh mint roughly chopped
1 bunch of flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
5 tablespoons Cypressa Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  1. Bring the vegetable stock to boil and add the couscous. Reduce the heat and simmer for about seven minutes, drain and leave to cool.

  2. Lightly sprinkle the diced cucumber with salt and place the diced tomatoes on a piece of kitchen paper to absorb excess juice.

  3. Stir the salt and pepper and sugar into the lemon juice, then stir in the olive oil to make the dressing.

  4. Combine the couscous and all the other ingredients into a bowl, then pour over the dressing and toss the salad thoroughly.
