Couscous is my go-to ingredient whenever I'm looking for a quick, healthy lunch. You can add almost anything to couscous to jazz it up – fresh strawberries, for example. As the best Swiss strawberries are finally in season, they are an absolute must for lunch, too. The sweetness of the strawberries combined with the mint and balsamic is definitely worth sampling.
