  • Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will add flavor to the couscous. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
  • Season the couscous to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, autumnal flavor.
  • Serve warm or cold: Cherry walnut breakfast couscous can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it cold, let it cool completely before refrigerating.
