Fabulous Couscous Salad for Fabulous Hot August Nights!

Here is a quick easy go-to salad I've been making all summer. I probably need to make bigger batches of this because it is so yummy and healthy. I usually serve it with grilled chicken or salmon, and of course a glass of ice-cold Cakebread Chardonnay.

Couscous Salad

1 cup of whole wheat couscous prepared according to directions

1/2 cup of diced and peeled cucumber

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4   cup of chopped basil

2 tablespoons of Orange Muscat Champaign Vinegar (Trader Joe's)

2 tablespoons of EVOO

Dash of sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Mix veggies then add the couscous once it is cooled down. Add vinegar and olive oil.
Chill for thirty minutes before serving.



Pop open your favorite glass of vino and enjoy!
