This is a refreshing and quick-to-prepare salad, perfect for a warm spring or summer day.
I originally made it for a potluck dinner at our church, so this recipe makes a nice large portion. For a family size recipe, just cut all the ingredients in half.
Ingredients
- 4 cups dry couscous
- 5 cups water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp. salt
- 8 oz. pesto sauce
- 4 large, firm Roma tomatoes, diced
- 16 oz. mozarella cheese, cubed
Directions
Measure the water, olive oil, and salt into a large pot. Bring to boil.
Add couscous to boiling water. Remove from heat immediately.
Let couscous stand for five to eight minutes.
Gently fluff the couscous with a fork, breaking up any large lumps (be gentle).
Stir pesto sauce into couscous; distribute evenly (but gently).
Allow to couscous to cool for one hour.
Add diced tomatoes and cubed mozzarella cheese to couscous/pesto mixture and gently fold in.
Serve cold.
Now, could a recipe be any easier than this? I don't think so.
Enjoy!
