Receta Salmon and Mint Cous Cous
This is a lovely, simple summer salad that takes little time to knock up so that you can enjoy the sun - when it decides to appear.
If you aren't a fish fan, replace with sliced ham, cooked chicken, anything really. Add some toasted almonds to give flavour and crunch.
