Preparation

Place the regular couscous in a saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Mix, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and pour into a bowl.
In the same saucepan over medium heat, add the pearl couscous followed by a thin drizzle of olive oil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.
Add 1 1/4 cups of water (or according to package directions) and mix. Cover, bring to a boil and mix. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the liquid is all absorbed and the couscous is cooked. Pour into a colander, rinse with cold water and add to the salad bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the salad bowl, season with salt and pepper then mix. Perfect to accompany your favorite grilled meats or as a summer dinner with a baguette and a fire cheese!
