Use up leftover salsa or make one from scratch for this hearty couscous salad. Top with grilled halloumi or chicken, if you like.
A rice bowl is a wondrous thing, but often – despite the simplicity of its title – a rather cluttered and complicated one. Here, I have pared it back, to make a gorgeously seasoned rice bowl, with nothing more than a few seeds, herbs and radishes stirred through it, and an avocado to top it. It’s a simple take on an inspiringly expansive idea. So please use this as a starting point only. It’s very much a non-recipe recipe, and every time I make it, I add something different, depending on what’s to hand. Each serving provides 498 kcal, 13g protein, 61g carbohydrate (of which 4.1g sugars), 21g fat (of which 4g saturates), 6.1g fibre and 1.9g salt.
