CHEF’S SECRET

For extra-fluffy couscous, let it rest for the recommended 5 minutes after mixing it with the orange juice. This lets the couscous absorb the liquid and fluff perfectly.

• Lightly toast the almonds before adding them to the salad to intensify the flavour and add an extra gourmet touch to your dish.
• If you want to add a touch of colour and spice, consider adding some fresh basil or chopped mint. These herbs perfectly complement the Mediterranean flavours in the salad.
• Serve the salad in elegant bowls and sprinkle some extra couscous grains and arugula leaves on top just before serving.
• If you have leftovers, this salad keeps well in the refrigerator. It will be even more flavourful the next day, once the flavours have had time to blend together.
