COUSCOUS AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
This is a wonderful side dish that me mum (my English mother-in-law) has prepared for us twice now upon visiting. Some of the last batch is still in the fridge as I write this, and I can't stop nibbling at it! I finally remembered to get the recipe this time.

[email protected]This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper or a drizzle of olive oil. The cherry tomatoes were also a bit too tart for my liking.
