This salad is my go-to dish for any potluck. It isn’t your typical pasta salad – using Israeli couscous and lots of fresh herbs from the garden. Israeli couscous is a pasta (like normal couscous) but rolled into larger granules. I like it for its texture as it almost chewy. Everytime I bring it to a party I’m always asked for the recipe.  So here it is!

I use Giada De Laurentiis’s recipe for Mediterranean Salad but add more cranberries and almonds. I said Sunday I was only posting vegetarian side dishes this week, I know.  But, you could easily use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and it would turn out equally as well.
