This recipe is perfect for a quick, nutritious lunch or as a side dish to complement your main course.
- Use a fork to fluff the couscous after cooking to prevent it from clumping together.
- For extra flavor, consider lightly toasting the couscous in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding the boiling water.
- Make sure to finely chop the chives and watercress to distribute their flavors evenly throughout the dish.
- For a more robust taste, you can use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water to cook the couscous.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more vinegar or mustard if you prefer a tangier salad.
Watercress and chive couscous is a quick, refreshing, and healthy meal option that can be prepared with ease. By following these simple steps and tips, you can create a delicious dish that will add a touch of gourmet to your everyday meals.
