Tricolour Pearl Couscous with lots of freshly chopped Vegetables is such a delightful bliss every Winter when all the different Vegetables are easily available and can be procured from the local markets.
This simple yet a filling Salad is such a crowd pleaser and also a stunner. It's absolutely healthy and can be made in a jiffy. There is no trouble of extra long hours of standing in the kitchen and getting tired. It's such a beautiful one. And to make it or whip it up is so so easy and effortless. It's actually a breeze.
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 Fiber. 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.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
