While recently shopping, I came across a new product from Near East called Basil & Herb Pearled Cous Cous. I love cous cous but my little one isn't fond of it. I think the reason is because it's too small and she has a hard time putting it onto the fork and refuses to eat her dinner with a spoon (I'm 10 now Mom, not a baby!). Anyway, I thought since this was more like a pasta, she might eat it this way. I prepared it according to package directions, let it cool then mixed in the remaining ingredients. It was a deliciously light and flavorful salad and the family loved it!
