Time should not be an excuse to eat healthy. Salads are a great ally when our time is short; just combine different raw fruits and / or vegetables to serve on the table one. A couscous salad with cabbage and carrots, is our proposal today.
We could have only used cabbage and carrot and incorporate, as we have done, some nuts to complete the salad. But we have decided to add one more ingredient: couscous. It cooks in 8 minutes and adds a warm touch to this salad that we did not want to miss.
