    0.5 tbs of light mayonnaise
    1 tsp of wholegrain mustard
    1.5 tbs lemon juice
    Dash of boiling water to mix

Directions

Chop the sweet potato and pumpkin into bite size pieces. For inconvenience, microwave them or bake them in the oven if you have time.

While that's going, create the dressing. Pour over the vegetables after the have cooled slightly and mix well.

Prep the couscous according to packet instructions and combine with spinach and cashews. Drain the excess dressing from the vegetables and mix in with couscous. Serve immediately!

Note- if you are entertaining leave the nuts to the last minute as they can become soggy if left in the salad.
