250g works if you just want the couscous on it's own, but if you're eating this with something, like lamb or sides, half the amount.

I love grain salads and this made a lovely lunch served with grilled halloumi on top. I used the juice as well as the zest of a lemon and used dried apricots in place of raisins. I also added chives to finish. Delicious.

Worked really well. Was very tasty and summery. I served with lamb kebabs and went perfectly. Only problem I had is that I used slightly old raisins, but that was not the recipe's fault.

Used dried blueberries, had no pine nuts so toasted some cashews, added mint, oregano and chives picked from my herb patch along with generous amounts of pepper, I also added the juice of the lemon - ok so I deviated a fair bit, but thanks for the inspiration GF as ever!
