I may not be cheerful right now, but by god, my food will be!

Made confetti couscous tonight to go with grilled salmon. Yummy.

My recipe:

Instant couscous: 1-1.5 cups, prepare as directed.

Raw veg chopped into small bits: carrot, red bell pepper, zucchini, spring onion -- white and green parts.

(You decide the amounts. This time, I used 1 med. carrot, 1 med. zucchini, 1 sm. spring onion, 1 sm. red bell pepper.)

A handful or two directly from the freezer: small frozen green peas

Complementary stuff: raisins, dried cranberries, chopped almonds, to taste

Dressing: juice of one orange, equal amount of olive oil, salt and pepper. Add some lemon juice if too sweet. Use as much as needed, to taste, or to have the couscous reasonably moist (agreeable to the tongue, basically. Your tongueage may vary)

In my experience, even people who usually rebel against raisins in non-desserts end up liking them in this.
