Potato Salad: Potato salad can look pretty dull, so snip some fresh chives or mint to add some color to it. Add a bit of hot sauce or Dijon mustard to enhance the flavor if it’s too bland, and you can also add chopped crispy bacon on top for some extra flavor.
Couscous: Whether you’re using pre-cooked couscous or the two-minute microwave packets, you can make these grains look nicer by stirring in fresh herbs, chickpeas, pomegranate seeds, or arugula. It’ll add color AND flavor.
Toppings: Pretend you’re a barista and top your instant hot chocolate with mini marshmallows and a few chocolate drops. Or, as an added food trick, dust some cinnamon or mixed spices for that extra oomph.
