Warm couscous salad

Hi to yous all!
Tonight, Spaghetti Lovers are going to 
present you with a recipe for a delicious warm couscous salad.

To prepare this yummer
(I´ve actually just made that word up...it´s supposed to be a noun from “yummy”),
you´re going to need:
-A reasonable amount of couscous
-Broccoli florets (frozen of fresh, I´d say a small cup per portion)
-Peas (frozen, fresh or canned, half a cup per portion)
-Corn (frozen or canned, half a cup per portion
-Pepper (yellow or green, to keep the colours classy, cut in stripes)
-Cheddar – diced
-Olive oil
-Salt, black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano

This salad is super easy, super yummy and super versatile
as it can be served on its own as a main dish
as well as with something else as a side.
First, you need to cook the couscous. 
Just put it in a pot, add boiling water and stir well, 
leave until the couscous soaks all the water.
Then cook the vegetables 
– just so that they are nice and crispy –
and strain them. 
Mix the couscous with the vegetables
and add a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs.
Now only a bit of cheese on top and here we go
 
Enjoy!
