I love how colorful this salad is, I can eat it as an appetizer, side or even weekday lunch. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand, spinach or chard instead of spinach, dried cherries or apricots instead of cranberries, and the butternut squash is optional only if you have it.

Hi ~ How are you? I cannot find your Ingredients or Directions Middle Eastern Salad Dressing. Is it possible to please share or send it to me? I’d like to make the 3-ingredient Couscous Salad for Sukkot Thank You
Yes, I have added the link and here you go https://jamiegeller.com/recipes/3-ingredient-middle-eastern-salad-dressing/
Salt, pepper and oil don’t count and the main 3-ingredients are couscous, kale and cranberries, the squash is optional and the dressing is separate you could simply use oil.
OK. If you say so. Thanks for your reply.
Um, your 3-ingredients couscous salad actually has 11 ingredients!! 6 for the salad and 5 for the dressing. How can you call it a 3-INGREDIENT COUSCOUS SALAD???
After it is cooked you should have 3 cups, so you start with 1.
3 CUPS AFTER IT’S COOKED OR BEFORE?
Yes, definitely!!!
Hi Ladies! Would this be good with quinoa instead of couscous?
You can use baby spinach, Swiss chard, dandelion greens or whatever sturdy dark leafy green you enjoy.
We don’t like kale would spinach be a good substitute? Any other suggestions>
For this recipe the small regular couscous is what we are going for, but tri color would work also.
i went to several supermarkets and no one had couscous that stated moroccan couscous. they had couscous and israeli couscous and tri color couscous. do you want the regular small couscous or the large israeli couscous
thank you laura. will it say moroccan couscous on package and is the couscous small like regular couscous or large like the israeli couscous. thank you
Moroccan couscous is commonly found in stores. Israeli couscous is pearl couscous or ptitim in Israel.
You can find all couscous in grocery stores across the country.
Enjoy!
where do you get moroccan couscous and how is it different from israeli couscous
Delicious! Thank you.
