We have really enjoyed this recipe for couscous over the years. I don’t make it a ton, but when I do make it, it gets gobbled up and there’s not much left by the end of dinner.
It is simple to prepare actually, even though it may seem like there’s a lot of ingredients, it’s not bad and you only have to cook the couscous and then add everything else.
Super easy.
The vinegar gives the couscous a nice zesty flavor but isn’t overpowering and still lets the basil and tomato flavors come through.
