Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is really good! An excellent work salad and my 1 year old devoured. I agree with Nrnarayan - it is more of a template, which I love. I used sundried tomatoes instead of peppers because that's what I had on hand. I bet it would be excellent with crunchy cucumbers or celery in it too! Will definitely add to lunch rotation

    Used this more as a template than a recipe. Switched the roasted red pepper with raw, and scallions with red onion for more crunch. I also topped with balsamic vinaigrette. Came out great!

    Found this kind of boring. I added small diced cucumber and raw bell pepper for a little crunch and that helped.

    My family loves this salad. It also makes great leftovers for the lunchbox!

    I couldn't find Italian tuna, so I used a pouch of tuna. I used a bit more couscous (to use up the box). Used a bit less salt. The salad definitely needs to sit for a while to let the flavors meld. Very tasty - I'm sure better with Italian tuna. I served it on a bed of greens.
