  Apart from the salsa, I didn't really feel this was a recipe but I made it for myself for tea tonight and it was delicious. It was easy to make for one and I will be making it again. If you like chickpeas and couscous I can recommend it.

  The cous cous salad is so light and delicious. Really tasty. I didn't have any fresh mint so improvised with a little mint sauce, which seemed to work well. We had this with the satay pork chops (also on this site) instead of the halloumi cheese as I wanted something I could cook which I already had all the ingredients for. It made plenty and I have some for lunch at work tomorrow. Yum!

  Great summer recipe! It's possible to buy vegetarian halloumi. Like BBCgoodfood, i assume (as a vegetarian myself) that people are capable of checking the ingredients list before buying cheese. They really shouldn't need to point it out.
