Directions
Israeli Couscous Salad With Asparagus, Cucumber and Olives, From Bon Appetit, June 2006 I discovered Israeli couscous at a restaurant over a year ago and set out to find it to try in standard couscous recipes (Believe it or not I found Israeli couscous for sale at Safeway grocery store by sheer accident!) Quite thrilled to find this recipe very recently!, Refreshing, healthy, great presentation It was even better the next day The only change is that I would double the amount of olives (actually this was suggested by my hubby and I agree )
