Although couscous is essentially tiny round pasta, I think it’s incredibly versatile once you figure out the right ways to jazz it up. There have been too many times where I’ve been alone in the kitchen with a box of couscous staring at my refrigerator looking for something to make it a little less…beige. I’ve had successes (sautéed carrots and chickpeas with roasted red pepper sauce over couscous anyone?) and I’ve had -er- not successes (coconut couscous pudding, someday I will win). Regardless, this is a recipe celebrating a victory of mine in the kitchen with couscous. Truly, this it was the happiest of accidents! In terms of pearled vs. normal couscous, I used to absolutely hate the pearled kind, but in the case of this recipe, I think it really works. So do me a favor and try it, but if you really can’t, I understand. We all have texture issues. The salad will be just as good with normal couscous. In case anyone was wondering I’ve now typed couscous so many times in the course of writing this post it doesn’t feel like a real word anymore. <br /> <br />http://spicesandspatulas.com/2014/03/07/warm-couscous-salad/
