Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pearl couscous, dry
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella pearls
- 15 oz can corn
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinaigrette
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Start by cooking the couscous according to the package instructions.
- Next drain & rinse the canned corn. Add the olive oil and rinsed corn to a pan on the stove over medium to high heat. Add salt and pepper and sauté until the corn is roasted and nicely browned. A tip here is to not mix the corn around too much!
- Remove the couscous and the corn from the heat and let cool completely. You can place in the fridge to speed up the process.
- Next halve the cherry tomatoes and cut the avocado into cubes.
- Add the couscous, roasted corn, halved tomatoes, avocado cubes, mozzarella pearls, and white balsamic vinaigrette to a large mixing bowl. Mix until combined evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh basil.
- Let sit in the fridge to cool before serving and enjoy!
