TIPS:

Couscous are tiny grains the size of cracked pepper. They are made from wheat – it’s essential teeny pasta. Because it’s so small, you just need to soak it. You can substitute with quinoa, barley or other grains – cook as required for those grains.

Make ahead: Even dressed, this keeps well for 2 days or so because it’s not leafy or weighed down with an oily dressing. To make ahead fresh, just place all the ingredients in a bowl except the sun dried tomato and lemon juice. Then add them just before serving and toss!Chips: In case you have crackers, add and serve. Voila!
