Ingredients
200g ASDA Giant Wholemeal Couscous
250g Cherry tomatoes, halved
75g Green pitted olives, thinly sliced
1 Cucumber, sliced into thin quarters
½ Lemon, juiced
4 Avocados, thinly sliced
Fresh basil, finely chopped
2 tbsp Olive oil

Method
1
Start by cooking the giant couscous in boiling water, setting a timer for 18 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, prepare the salad ingredients by slicing the cucumber, olives and tomatoes. Finely chop the basil.
3
Assemble to dressing by combining the finely chopped fresh basil, olive oil, a splash of the olive brine (around ½ tbsp), lemon juice and black pepper.
4
Once cooked, drain and rinse the giant couscous in cold water until cold. Add to a large mixing bowl along with the salad ingredients and dressing. Toss to combine.
5
Top with the thinly sliced avocado and an extra sprinkle of black pepper. Squeeze an extra bit of lemon juice if you like your salads tangier.
