Couscous Salad with Walnuts and Fruit
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Thanks to the dried fruits, this salad scores with plenty of roughage - and this ensures long-lasting satiety. The walnut kernels also provide vitamin E and healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids.
If you get some, you should use whole grain couscous. This contains even more fibre as well as vitamins and minerals.
