I have never cooked with couscous and was surprised to find that it is just really teeny, tiny pasta! It tasted good just by itself before I mixed up the salad.
I added the cucumber to the original recipe. After I finished making the salad and walked outside for a few minutes and walked back into the house....the entire place just smelled so fresh and green from chopping the ingredients. I love that.
If you try it, let me know how you like it.

I wanted to note that I made this Sunday evening. I had some on Tuesday evening and it was good. Wednesday evening, not so much. The green onion had turned a bit bitter with the vinegar. When I make it again, I would probably make half a recipe as I seemed to be the only one who ate it.
ReplyDeleteCouscous is manna from the Gods! I love it in cold dishes. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSheena, I made different recipe Sunday night and I might just like it better than this one!
ReplyDeleteSub in red onion for green and it stays fresher.
