Pink beetroot couscous with an avocado rose recipe
Vegan, healthy, quick & easy.
When it comes to this time of year, salads are perfect for lunch/dinner! They're healthy, refreshing and light.
Presentation of food is really important and what better way than a beautiful pink salad with an avocado rose on top? Sounds wonderful to me!
This is pink couscous which is coloured naturally with beetroot juice, topped with a mix of kale, cherry tomatoes, spinach, lemon slices, Moroccan falafels, an avocado rose/stars with a pinch of chilli flakes for a kick.
This dish is full of flavour and couscous makes the perfect side, or enjoy with falafels, a burger, salad, vegan sausages etc, the choice is endless!
This salad looks very impressive, tastes delicious but takes less than 30 minutes to whip up!!
A must make for summer.

Step 3- Place the couscous into a heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water until it just covers the couscous.
Step 4- Pour in the beetroot juice and allow the couscous to stand for 10 minutes to soak up the liquid.
Step 5- Make an avocado rose.
Watch this video on how to make a perfect avocado rose.
Step 6- Fluff the couscous with a fork and toss in the kale, spinach and chopped tomatoes.
Serve on a plate with the avocado rose, a sprinkling of chilli flakes and fresh lemon slices for squeezing over.
I also cut out some avocado stars and added on some falafels.
Enjoy fresh & store in a sealed container in the fridge.
