Healthy Salads

If you like this recipe kindly share ❤️Unlike the popular belief that Couscous is a grain, it is actually a type of Pasta prepared from Semolina & whole wheat flour.…

Couscous is one of my favorite ingredients and am incorporating it in many Indian based recipes too. This salad can be put together within few minutes and its vegan too. Instead of Tofu you could also add grilled halloumi or paneer too incase if you are not a vegan I have used only basic ingredients for preparing the marinade. The salad can be served cold as well. Hence you could prepare the Couscous mixture well in advance and can refrigerate for later use. Grill the Tofu just before serving

On a Friday night I was wondering what to make for dinner. Then this idea popped up. Prepared a quick tikki with Potatoes and paneer,served with a simple home made green chutney, store bought Imli(tamarind) Chutney and a salad. It was a satisfying meal and a perfect start for the weekend. Instead of Paneer you could add Tofu too. Since these tikkis are shallow fried they didn’t consume too much oil too. The following measurement yields upto 12-15 medium sized tikkis


This is warm salad. I used leftover cooked couscous from the previous day. Asparagus shoots are so much healthy with lot of minerals in it. If you prefer a low calorie yet filling salad then do try this one.

If you looking for a lighter lunch or dinner then Stir fried vegetables is a great choice. This way you can try and eat whole bowl of veggies atleast once a week.
