As the summery weather draws to a close so to do the lazy days in the sun lounging on the the white sands of bondi beach! This weekend is going to be a another great one. So grab a few of you're favourite things; tabbouleh, hummus, olives, salad, pide, cheese, baguette, Turkish Delight and head to the park, beach or wherever you like for one last long picnic in the sun. Make sure you pack plenty of drinks to match your menu and invite your yummy friends too.
Quick Tabbouleh
Traditionally made with burghul I have partnered this zesty salad with cous cous for a last minute salad when 'on the run'. Great served with lamb kofta's and pide or with grilled lamb cutlets and lemon cheeks.
the ingredients
THE SALAD
3/4 cup cous cous

1/4 cup mint, chopped
Salt and pepper
DRESSING
20ml extra virgin olive oil

Cook cous cous according to packet directions.
In a medium bowl combine tomatoes, spring onion, parsley, mint and cous cous.
Whisk dressing ingredients together until combined. Pour over salad and season to taste.

ps - Burghul is cracked wheat and requires around 30 minutes cooking and can replace the cous cous if you have more time!
