Notes & Wine Advice

Notes

Use cooled couscous for the best crispy texture. Stir regularly during cooking for even browning. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Variations

Add olives for extra Mediterranean flavor. Use goat cheese instead of feta. Add nuts for additional crunch.

Wine Advice

This salad pairs well with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a fresh Pinot Grigio. These wines complement the citrus and fresh herbs beautifully.
