Couscous & French Beans Salad with Chickpeas & Cucumber
#SoupSalad - This is a very healthy salad with the goodness of couscous, french beans, black chickpeas and cucumber. A great light meal for any weight watchers. I added some feta cheese to add a punch to the salad.
I also gave a tempering of mustard seeds, dry red chilies and asafoetida, which was later poured over the prepared salad at the time of serving. It gives a complete new dimension to any ordinary salad. Just try it and you will not be disappointed.
