There's something about couscous

COUSCOUS SALAD

I am not really sure why I like couscous so much, but you may have noticed I use it alot.   It is a nice change from regular pasta and offers a different texture, absorbs the flavor of what you are pairing it with and just tastes incredible.   So, this is one of my other favs:

1- 10 oz. package of couscous (prepare as package directs)

1 cup of sliced black olives

3 diced roma tomatoes

1/2 of a small red onion diced

1 cucumber seeded and diced

2 oz. feta cheese crumbles

1 glove on minced garlic

1/8 tsp. dried mint

1/8 tsp. dried basil

salt and pepper to taste

3/4 cup of basic vinegraite (you'll find this in the archives)

Mix all ingredients together and refridgerate for at least 2 hours before serving.   Makes a great side dish or add grilled chicken for a main dish.

Enjoy!
