It can be one of the best things, making an awesome salad that you can enjoy (‘find’) in the fridge. This is one such pasta salad. Good for packed lunches, good for brunch, good for a picnic. Just plain good. I imagine you could make this with regular cous cous, too, but I’m a huge fan of Israeli cous cous (or you could use fregola, a toasted Italian pasta similar to Israeli cous cous). Enjoy!
