Steps: Couscous with Pesto, Cherry Tomatoes and Buffalo Mozzarella Bites
First, put the couscous in a large bowl, add the salt, and pour the boiling water over it. I usually use the same weight of water and couscous, but follow the cooking instructions on the box. Cover with a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, quarter the cherry tomatoes and halve the buffalo mozzarella bites.
When the couscous is ready, fluff it with a fork, add the pesto (leaving aside a tablespoon) and mix to combine.Finally, add the cherry tomatoes and mozzarella bites, mix again, and plate, finishing with a few drops of pesto.
