Tomato And Couscous Salad Recipe

When using such simple ingredients, quality is key. Spending more on a well balanced olive oil will provide a more punchier flavor with less, so you’re saving money in the long run. For tomatoes, look for the juiciest on offer in your local store or supermarket.

Your choice of couscous will dictate the texture of the salad. A toasted couscous will give the dish a slight nutty texture, while giant couscous will surround the ingredients with a soft base.
