I love pearl couscous and my sons laugh at me because they have a saying about couscous. It goes like this, “Couscous – so good they named it twice.”

I do have to laugh because they started this little saying when they were very young and now that they are grown men they still stay it every time they hear the word couscous.

Even with their silly saying, I love Pearl Couscous Salad and I’m sure you will too.

What is Pearl Couscous?

Pearl Couscous is also called Israeli Couscous. It is a grain made from semolina and it looks like little pearls of pasta and has a bit of a chewy texture. Generally, when you think of couscous, most people think of the very small couscous that is similar in size to quinoa. I prefer pearl couscous because of its pasta-like texture and chew.

This is the easiest recipe you’ll ever make!

Seriously, for the amount of flavor you get with each fork-full of this salad, you won’t believe how easy it is to make.

  1. Dice up some bell peppers, celery, and fresh parsley.
  2. Cook the couscous per the package instructions.
  3. Mix everything together.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

So EASY!
