A vibrant and flavorful couscous salad with a creamy yogurt dressing, perfect for a refreshing meal.
Place the couscous in a large bowl.
Using a large bowl allows for easy mixing later.
Melt the butter in the boiling water and pour it over the couscous.
Ensure the water is boiling to properly cook the couscous.
Cover the bowl tightly and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Covering the bowl traps the steam, cooking the couscous evenly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a smooth and well-combined dressing.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and pour the dressing over it, mixing well.
Fluffing the couscous prevents clumps and ensures even mixing.
Add the grated carrot, parsley, currants, scallions, and red onion to the couscous.
Chop the vegetables finely for a uniform texture.
Mix everything well and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
Serve the salad at room temperature.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh look.
