Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- You can cook the couscous and whip up your dressing a day early.
- Storage Directions:
- For the best results, store the couscous separate from the tomatoes and veggies. Keep everything in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. The cucumber and tomatoes will make the salad quite soggy. You can also freeze this it without the tomatoes and parsley for up to 2-3 months.
