Ingredients

  • 200g cous cous
  • 400ml hot vegetable stock
  • 150g fine green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 60g mixed seeds, such as pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, toasted until golden
  • 1 large avacado, halved, stone removed and chopped

  • 2tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 2tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 300g leftover salmon, flaked into large pieces

Instructions

1 Place the cous cous in a large bowl and pour over the hot vegetable stock. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave to stand for 10 minutes until the cous cous has absorbed all the liquid.

2 Meanwhile place a small saucepan of water on to boil and when bubbling add the green beans and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Drain well and run under cold water immediately to refresh. Drain and set aside.

3 Remove the cling film from the bowl, gently break up and separate the cous cous grains using a fork. Stir in the toasted seeds and drained green beans.

4 Carefully fold in the avocado, tomatoes and herbs then dress with the lemon juice, oil and a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.

5 When everything is mixed together, gently fold in the flaked salmon. Serve immediately.
