Can you help me with recipe for couscous salad?
I had a great couscous salad. The ingredients listed are couscous, rice vinegar, lime juice, basil paste, arugula, sun dried tomatoes, currants and pearl onions.
Does anyone know how to make a recipe from this I can work with? I'm not a cook, I was thinking to cook a box of couscous and maybe throw in half a cup of vinegar and a tablespoon of lime juice... but I have no idea if that will taste bad. And I don't know how to add the basil paste without it being a big clump.
Answers:
You need some extra virgin olive oil, and you never use vinegar by the cup, only by the spoon.
Cook your box of couscous by the instructions on the box.
2 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, the juice from 1 lime, 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil, 1 cup of chopped arugula, and the remaining to taste.
Mix well with the couscous.
