  2. Put the lime zest and juice, honey, ginger and soy sauce into a small bowl and season. Slowly whisk in the sunflower oil to form an emulsion, then whisk in the sesame oil. Toss with the salad and serve with the couscous.

    Have made this many times over the years and it never fails to impress. Using rotisserie chicken is a good shortcut and make s the whole dish a bit a a cheat really! My kids love it too - especially the mangetout ( slice it thinly)

    I fried the chicken in garlic, ginger and ground nut oil, adding some soy towards the end. It doesn't take long and is good if you're just feeding one. The recipe's a bit confusing as it doesn't state couscous in the ingredients but it does in the method so I had some with mine - I used some of the dressing to moisten the couscous.
