Balsamic Couscous and Mushroom Salad

In this Balsamic Couscous and Mushroom Salad I have chosen to use the larger couscous to cook with. Where we usually think couscous is a grain, it is actually pasta and this versatile ingredient makes for a deliciously filling base for this particular vegan recipe.

As you know, adding mushrooms to any dish enhances the flavor and combined with the balsamic dressing stirring the flavor profile of this Mediterranean dish.
