    This Mexican Couscous Salad is amazing and full of incredible flavors, not only is this couscous salad recipe healthy and nutritious, but also incredibly easy to make. Just cook couscous and mix it in a large bowl with the other ingredients, that's it!

    Formerly considered a North African delicacy, couscous is now consumed all over the world, in fact it is now easily found in all grocery stores.

    Couscous is a cereal that has been made into small balls of durum wheat or semolina flour.

    There are three types of couscous: Moroccan, Israeli and Lebanese. Moroccan couscous is the smallest and most easily available version. For this salad I used Moroccan couscous.

    Keep your couscous in a cool and dry place so it will keep up to 1 year.
