I love making this salad for shalosh seudos. I often make it with quinoa instead of couscous for a healthier version; either way, it’s always a huge hit.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil

  • 1 (8.8-ounce) bag Gefen Israeli Pearl Couscous

  • 1 avocado, chopped

  • 6 ounces shelled edamame

  • 1/2 red pepper, diced

  • 1/2 orange pepper, diced

  • 1/2 yellow pepper, diced

  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced

  • 1/2 cup Gefen Dried Cranberries

  • 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds

Dressing

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • pinch of black pepper

Directions

1.

In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add couscous and toast for about three minutes, stirring frequently so that it doesn’t burn. Add two and a quarter cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Set aside to cool.

2.

Blend dressing ingredients with an immersion blender until smooth.

3.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled couscous, avocado, edamame, peppers, red onion, cranberries, and sliced almonds. Add dressing and toss to combine.

Notes:

This salad can be prepped in advance. Just add the dressing and avocado right before serving.
