Couscous is very healthy unless you are a diabetic or Gluten Free\/Celiacs.  Couscous is high in fiber as long as you choose a whole wheat variety and excellent source of selenium which helps boost immune function.  It is also high in plant based protein, containing 6 grams of protein per cup.  You can google nutrition info on couscous and read for yourself.  Having said that, I am gluten free so I substituted quinoa for the couscous.  I found this recipe to be absolutely delish!  Great refreshing, summer salad.  I brought this to a pot luck and everyone loved it!  This will become a staple  in my home.

So easy to \"make your own\" version and simply combine the amount needed for 2 generous servings!  I eliminated the fennel, used Harvest Grains from Trader Joe's instead of pearl couscous, and canned Mandarin orange segments in lieu of fresh.  Big hit!  Great salad and filling with the grains, nice combo.  LOVE the dressing, so flavorful, will use it with other salads also. Might try topping with grilled chicken strips or shrimp for a whole meal.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-06-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"dublinlab"},"reviewBody":"I made this yesterday to serve with bbq'd steak and grilled asparagus.
