Moroccan Cous Cous Salad

Print Recipe

Another super inspiring recipe from team member Kym Peterson. Kym has been vegetarian for most of her adult life and is always sharing amazing recipes with us in the tea room. When we asked her to do something with the new Israeli Cous Cous in store, this is what she came up with. Moroccan Cous Cous Salad features all the flavours of Morocco including fresh mint, pistachios, cranberries and our own Moroccan spice mix. Enjoy.

Note: Israeli cous cous is different from regular cous cous in that is it slightly larger with a creamy texture.

Ingredients:

2 large carrots

1 cup Israeli cous cous

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup cranberries

1/2 cup pistachio kernels

tablespoon of chopped fresh mint leaves

olive oil

1 tablespoon Moroccan spice mix

Tablespoon of orange juice

1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
