Couscous Salad

"From my kitchen to yours........ Couscous Salad"

Couscous is a delicious and nutritious version of semolina wheat that’s associated with Morocco. It’s easy to cook, and there’s no end to what you can do with it.

Couscous can be prepared in just 10 minutes.  As a rule, a 1/3 cup of dry couscous will yield one cup of cooked couscous. I recommend using whole wheat couscous to boost your intake of fiber. Serve with some grilled chicken or salmon.
