Honey Tips
Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar
Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.
Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring water, raisins, salt and olive oil to a boil. Stir in coucous. Cover pot and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Pour couscous mixture into a large bowl and toss with a fork to fluff.
In a small skillet, saute onion in one tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and cook until softened. Stir onion mixture into coucous.
Whisk together red wine vinegar and honey. Pour over couscous and toss gently. Mix in remaining ingredients, salt and pepper to taste. Serve salad at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
