1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (Optional)

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Combine tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, shallot, garlic, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.

Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, and stir in the couscous. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes; fluff with a fork. Allow couscous to cool, then toss with tomato mixture.

The garlic can be strong after the salad marinates. If you prefer a more mellow garlic taste, add half of a garlic clove.
