couscous salad
Cold semolina dish
Couscous salad is a cold dish built on couscous—tiny grains of steamed semolina pasta—mixed with chopped vegetables, herbs, and a vinaigrette.
Mediterranean versions typically include tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, and lemon; variations add chickpeas, feta, or dried fruit.
It's a common potluck and picnic offering: I'll bring the couscous salad.
