ISRAELI COUSCOUS, TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA SALAD
My modifications to #116054. The Israeli couscous really makes this a wonderful salad. A small round pasta such as Pearl Pasta can also be substituted. Can be served right away, but best if refrigerated for a few hours. Great for using up tomatoes and basil from the garden. If using larger tomatoes, dice and drain prior to mixing.

Steps:
- Tip the couscous into a large bowl along with the pesto and crumble over the stock cube. Pour over 2 teacups (about 400ml/14fl oz) boiling water and give it a good stir to dissolve the stock. Cover with cling film and leave to stand for 10 mins until all the water has been absorbed.
- To make the dressing, mix together the olive oil, pesto and lemon juice. When the couscous has swelled up, pour the dressing over and flake through with a fork, breaking up any clumps. Toss in the mozzarella, tomato and rocket, then serve.

ISRAELI COUSCOUS, BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD
Finely chopped tomatoes seasoned with garlic, balsamic vinegar and basil serve as both dressing and vegetable in this main dish salad. I've been making tomato concassée all summer and using it as a sauce for pasta and fish. I decided to use it as a stand-in for salad dressing in this hearty salad, a simple combination of cooked Israeli couscous and beans. I used canned pinto beans, and they were just fine. Chickpeas would also work. Use lots of basil in the mix. The red onion contributes some crunch. You can add a little celery if you want more texture. Make sure to use sweet, ripe, juicy tomatoes. I love the finishing touch of the feta, but it is optional.
