Cool Cous Cous Salad

Recipe #302601 | 20 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Trinkets

On a hot summer night, what is better than a cool salad? This goes with grilled chicken or fish really well. I sometimes add chopped apples, fresh herbs, and top with sliced green onions. Substitute vegetable stock for a vegetarian dish.
