The Best Mediterranean Couscous Salad Recipe

I especially enjoy this salad with meat dishes, but it pairs well with almost any meal. It’s easy to make and doesn’t create a lot of dirty dishes because it requires no separate dressing or assembly. I use just one bowl to combine all the ingredients.

Give it a chance, jump to the recipe and enjoy the best! Cooking couscous can be tricky because it tends to stick together. For that reason, the safest method is to boil it for 10 minutes in plenty of hot water.

However, you can also prepare it the same way as rice. For 1 cup of couscous, add 1 cup of water and cook over low heat until all the water is absorbed. To get the best results, be careful not to overcook it.
