Spring couscous salad with roasted asparagus
- 12. May 2015
What about your bikini figure? Ms Aitch and Mr El are looking down on each others bellies. Once again they didn't loose their holiday pounds until the first warm days. Every year again. To much savory food on dirty weather days, too little exercise, to much tasty wine.
They feel queasy about many diet variations so first of all they eat this vernal couscous salad. With this salad you cut a good figure.
And if you like couscous salad as much as they do, you can find some more here and here.
Ingredients
For 4 persons:
500g green asparagus
1 cup Couscous
1 tsp Couscous - YOK blend of spices

1/2 bunch of radish
1 handful of dill
1 handful of rocket
2 spring onions
1 tsp black cumin seeds

For the dressing:
2 tbsp wine vinegar
1 tbsp apple vinegar
1 tbsp sweet mustard
1 tsp medium hot mustard
4 tbsp grape seed oil
1 handful of radish greens
1 handful of dill
1 handful of parsley
1 handful of chervil
salt and pepper
Instructions
