Israeli Couscous, Tomato and Mozzarella Salad image

My modifications to #116054. The Israeli couscous really makes this a wonderful salad. A small round pasta such as Pearl Pasta can also be substituted. Can be served right away, but best if refrigerated for a few hours. Great for using up tomatoes and basil from the garden. If using larger tomatoes, dice and drain prior to mixing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover couscous. I also like to add some grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial meal.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this salad changed my mind! The tomatoes and mozzarella are so juicy and flavorful, and the basil adds a nice pop of freshness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of couscous, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil is so refreshing and flavorful. I also love that it's a make-ahead dish, so I can prep it in advance and then just relax and enjoy the party.
