Balsamic Couscous

Submitted by Kendra*

"This is a recipe I developed when I couldn't find one that was exactly what I wanted. This is a good side dish recipe for many different menus. It's also very versatile. You can add any different kind of veggies along with the onion (celery, peas, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, corn). I use tri-color couscous in this recipe, but any kind will work."

Very Good! I used whole wheat couscous and vegetable broth because I had some that needed to be used up. I paired it with Recipe #82508 and they complimented each other beautifully. Thanks for posting!
