With the summer nights approaching, this salad would be perfect on its own or served with chicken.
1 red pepper, finely sliced
1 green pepper, roughly chopped
1 onion, minced
1 garlic clove, chopped
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
Half carrot, finely sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
100g cous cous
250ml vegetable stock
1 avocado, cut
Walnuts (optional)
Heat the oven to 200°C or gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Toss the peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes and carrots together with 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Place in the oven for 15 minutes until soft.
While the vegetables are roasting, heat the cous cous in a small pan with the rest of the oil. Gently pour in the stock and cook for about 20 minutes or until the stock is fully absorbed. Remove and spoon into a large serving bowl.
When the vegetables are done, pour on top of the cous cous and top with the chopped avocado and walnuts if using.
Leave to cool before serving.
