• Heat 1t olive oil in a small pot & add Couscous and toast it until lightly browned. Add water & cook according to package instruction. Salt & pepper to taste.

• Once cooled, couscous will form a gelled cake, lightly break it loose. Add all ingredients & toss throughly. Salt & pepper to taste. Serve cold.

노트

• I kept the salad plain so it can go with many things or as standalone meal as-is. However, you can add chickpeas, red onion, bell peppers or even feta cheese to it. IT’s versatile.

• You can use different soup base instead of water for a deeper flavor profile.
