Cauliflower CousCous Salad

As Homemade Vangee Bath Masala is handy, these days I have been quite experimenting with it. The aroma of this freshly ground masala is superb and I can't stop adding this to curries, pulaos and today even I have added it to this couscous salad. The Green Cauliflower exposure is one pleasure and using it in this healthy recipe, painting my plate colorful is another pleasure... Here is the recipe, Njoy!

Green Cauliflower Couscous Salad
 Have you ever seen Green Cauliflower? When i first came to America, i used to to think Broccoli as Green Cauliflower, then later i came to know Broccoli is different than cauliflower and got different texture and taste. I heard there are different color of cauliflowers Orange, Purple, Green but never witnessed them until today. Thanks to Sprouts Farmer Market for introducing me to their colorful cauliflowers under 'Color Harvest' concept. You may have already seen another colorful recipe Colorful Cauliflower Bake made with purple cauliflower. But today I have paired this Green Cauliflower with some more greens and created a Light - Lean salad.

Beautiful Bright Green Cauliflower



Ingredients:
Cauliflower - 10 Florets
Grape Tomatoes - 10
Green Peas - 1/3 cup ( frozen)
Couscous - 1/2 cup ( uncooked)
Lime - 1
Vangee Bath Masala  - 1 tsp
Olive Oil - 1 tsp
salt - 1/2 tsp
Cilantro - 1 Tbsp ( optional)


Preparatory Steps:

  • Cook the Couscous according to the package directions. 
  • Steam the Cauliflower Florets for 10 min. 
  • Microwave the Green Peas on High for 1 min


Method:

  1. Take a medium wide bowl. Add cooked Couscous, steamed cauliflower, chopped grape tomatoes and mix well gently. 
  2. Add the green peas to the bowl. Add salt and Vangee Bath Masala powder and coat well. 
  3. Add Olive Oil to the top and give it a stir in the bowl. Finally squeeze the Lime Juice on top and add chopped cilantro if you are using it. 


Serve into the salad bowls or plates and dig into the healthy wholesomeness .....!!!

Notes:

  • If you don't have  Vangee Bath Masala then you can use 1/2 tsp curry powder instead.

    I find lil weird to have couscous until some spicy poweders like our Indian touch is added. Nice way of adding v.bath powder to make it more delicious. Super yummy it looks.

      True Latha, I felt the same, but learnt that Olives will lift up the flavor of couscous, Mostly I use Chopped Olives or Olive Oil to CousCous Salads.
