German food guides spotlight 9‑Cup and couscous salads for summer grilling

A German culinary guide presents the 9‑Cup salad, a creamy mix of potatoes, eggs, red onion, cucumber, paprika, meat sausage, cheese, apples and mayonnaise, measured in equal cup portions for easy scaling to any number of guests. The recipe emphasizes simple preparation steps, such as cooking and dicing the vegetables, then combining all ingredients in a large bowl and letting the salad rest before serving.

Another guide offers a couscous salad suited to picnics, grill evenings and office lunches. The dish uses 600 g couscous soaked in vegetable broth with Ras el‑Hanout, then mixed with tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Variations include adding mint, bulgur, or chickpeas. Both salads are promoted as quick, adaptable options for outdoor gatherings.
