  • Choose a good quality salami: There are many different types of salami available, so choose one that you enjoy the taste of. A good salami will be firm and have a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Use a flavorful couscous: Couscous is a versatile grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. For this salad, choose a couscous that has a lot of flavor, such as whole-wheat couscous or Israeli couscous.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, can add a lot of flavor to this salad. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead.
  • Let the salad chill before serving: This salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
