Notes
Feel free to adapt the above recipe. That is how I made the pearl couscous salad and it was very good but you can add anything you want.
Try chopped anchovies, chopped fresh mint leaves, fresh chopped tomatoes instead of the sun-dried kind, raisins, fried onions or anything else that appeals. Ham or bacon would work too, or even drained, canned tuna.
Keep any leftovers refrigerated for your lunch the following day. This makes a yummy lunch!
