I love Cous-Cous and this salad is a nice change from cous- cous as a side dish. Its great cold or room temp. I used to make it with a white wine vinaigrette, but it doesn't need it. So now I just offer some raspberry vinaigrette on the side for those who want it but most people eat it plain. I will include the vinaigrette recipe use it if you like. This is great for party, BBQ's, potlucks family get togethers its always a hit. Even with those who say they don't like cous-cous wind up loving it.
Vinaigrette:
1/4cup good white wine vinegar
6tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
fresh chopped parsley
Whisk together, double if needed
