I was unsure about this salad to begin with, but after it sat in the fridge over night, it tasted amazing. I will be making this often. The couscous alone would make an amazing side dish.
Fantastic!! Love taking this for my lunch. I’ve made it twice! Fresh and fulfilling!
Yum! Easy, healthy and delicious!
Sounds delicious! How long will it last refrigerated? I’d love to take for my lunch after serving for dinner.
Fantastic salad! Perfect for a summer picnic with hummus and pita 🙂
Couscous is not Israeli !
Lovely looking dish and yes we call it Giant Couscous where i come from.
Because the name in Hebrew is P’titim. But they had to call it something when chefs, outside of Israel, started cooking with it in the late 20th century. Israeli cous cous was the name that fit. Now take a chill pill Henry. It’s only food.
You may not know that “Israeli couscous” is the name of a type of couscous-larger, usually white rounds about the size of a petite pea.
Love this salad! I make it many, many times over the summer always to rave reviews!
Delicious! Perfect combination of ingredients. We really enjoyed this one.
