not rocket science guacamole salad


guacamole salad with couscous and apple

i accidentally bought a bag of 20 avocados for a quid at the market at the end of the day ... so expect a rush of guacamole. here i added it to some leftover couscous, with a bit of apple for fresh crunch, which you can of course leave out if you fear fruit in salads (and yeah, yeah, i know the tomato's really a fruit). you could also add in something toasted - pine nuts or sunflower seeds - for extra protein if you were feeling like heating something.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 small bowl couscous, already rehydrated with some veg stock and cooled
  • 1/2 a ripe avocado, chopped into quite fat chunks
  • 1/4 - 1/2 red chilli (depending on how much of a wuss you are), finely chopped
  • 1/2 granny smith apple, chopped (you could use any variety, except golden delicious cos they are horrible)
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • handful rocket, roughly chopped
  • squish of lime juice
  • splash balsamic
  • salt, pepper



Method
  1. place the couscous in a bowl and toss in the rest of the ingredients. This ain't rocket science.
