Pearl Couscous Salad

#RDS #cookpadindia Pearl Couscous and a lot of fresh Winter Vegetables come along in this beautiful medley of eye catching colours and hue. It's a simple yet a flavourful and a refreshing Salad that can be whipped up and relished on any given day. It's a perfect one for a healthy Brunch, Snacking or even as a Brekkie. With a simple Olive Oil dressing, it's a winner all the way. Couscous is a great option for a good and a healthy homemade food. Pearl and Moroccan Couscous both are made with Semolina and water. For Pearl Couscous, Semolina is toasted before the Couscous is dried, that is the reason why it has a bit more of nuttiness. Couscous is a powerhouse of Fibre. It keep you full and is good for stabilized blood sugar levels. It also aids in digestion and relieves constipation. Pearl Couscous is low in Sugar and hence has a low glycemic index too. Pearl Couscous is technically a larger version of Moroccan Couscous. Roughly the size of a Pea, it is larger than the other Couscous varieties like the Moroccan. While many believe it's a type of grain, it is actually a type of Pasta. Sago or Sabudana is completely different from it.
