Meatball couscous salad

Serves: 4

Time to make: 20 mins

Ingredients

500g store-bought lean beef meatballs (we used Al Brown’s)
1 cup wholemeal couscous
1 bunch parsley, chopped
juice of 1 lemon
8 cups mixed salad leaves
250g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup hummus

Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, for 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

2 Meanwhile, cook couscous according to packet instructions, then fluff grains with a fork. Add parsley and lemon juice, then stir to combine.

3 Divide salad leaves among 4 serving bowls. Top with parsley, couscous, cherry tomatoes and meatballs. Thin hummus by stirring with 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl. Drizzle hummus over meatball salad and serve.

Variations

Instead of thinning out the hummus, you can serve this salad with a dollop of thicker hummus on top.
