Pearl Couscous Salad is a vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring tender pearl couscous, fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as parsley or mint. Often tossed with a light olive oil and lemon dressing, it may include additions like feta cheese, olives, or chickpeas for added flavor and texture. Originating from the Middle East, this salad is a nutritious combination of whole foods. Pearl couscous provides a good source of energy-rich carbohydrates, while the vegetables and herbs contribute vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. When made with olive oil, the fat content is heart-healthy, though added ingredients like cheese may increase sodium and saturated fat levels. Serve it as a light, refreshing side dish or a satisfying vegetarian main.
