COUSCOUS SALAD (VEGAN)
This Israeli/Middle Eastern-inspired couscous salad with elements of Spanish cuisine is full of healthy ingredients and easy to make. If you can't find Israeli couscous (also known as pearl couscous) use the standard type. However, quinoa, orzo or other small pasta shapes can replace the couscous. From Good Housekeeping and slightly adapted by me. I had to stop my fingers from typing: "stir in 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water with the prunes."
