Fig, Goats Cheese and Walnut Couscous Salad

[heart_this] · Oct 6, 2007 · 3 Comments

Fig, Goats Cheese and Walnut Couscous Salad

Just a quick post today as I have a cold (just in time for thanksgiving weekend). I made this a few days ago when I had some figs in the fridge that needed finishing. I was looking for a recipe to use them when I came across this recipe for a fig and couscous salad with walnuts and goats cheese. It sounded pretty good and I would have the opportunity to use couscous for a second time.

    I have to say I’m glad I live on this side of the pond…. all you over there seem to have caught colds (touch wood). I hope you are better for Thanksgiving! I agree, a nice pot of chicken soup should do the trick!
    Love seeing a ‘fall’ couscous salad!
