Expert Tips

Be gentle when tossing these salad ingredients together; couscous can become a gummy, sticky mess if stirred too much.

Green Goddess I will make it with Quinoa. I have been very successful with substituting Quinoa with anything I have tried.

Could you substitute Bulgar Wheat or Quinoa instead of using Couscous?

This was DELICIOUS! I omitted the green onions, only because I didn't have them on hand at home. It's a great combination of textures and flavors. I enjoyed it both hot and cold and it's great all on its own.
