Chrissy Teigen's Couscous Salad with Apricot Basil Dressing Recipe - Today.com

Chef notes

We originally made this with boxed Moroccan-style couscous, but during the photo shoot, our stylists accidentally swapped in Israeli couscous and the recipe came out even better than the original! Also known as pearl couscous, Israeli couscous is actually made up of tiny pasta balls, similar to Italian fregola, and just super-great in pasta salads. Once you boil the Israeli couscous, you're ready to add a jillion things, turning it into a tasty ladies' lunch with leftovers. Here, we load it up with herbs, nuts, dried fruits and chickpeas, but a can of tuna, cubes of cheese or ribbons of smoked turkey would be more than welcome if you wanted that instead.

Preparation

1.

Finely chop the apricots, then place half of them in a bowl, cover with the boiling water and let sit until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Drain off any remaining water.

2.

While the apricots are soaking, bring half a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the couscous, return to a boil and cook until al dente, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain, rinse briefly under cold water, drain again then transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to prevent it from sticking.

3.

Combine the soaked apricots in a blender with 1/2 cup olive oil, the vinegar, 1/4 cup of the basil, the honey, mustard and garlic. Add 1 teaspoon salt and blend until smooth, 30 seconds.

4.

Thinly slice the remaining 1/2 cup basil leaves and add to the bowl with the couscous along with the chickpeas, dried cherries, 1/2 cup of the toasted almonds and the remaining 1/4 cup apricots. Toss with the dressing, season with more salt to taste and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons almonds.

My Experience Visiting A Capital One Cafe - One Mile at a Time

Image
I recently visited a Capital One Cafe for the first time, and figured I'd share my thoughts. Maybe you've seen a Capital One Cafe before, and have wondered what exactly that is. Or maybe you've never heard about Capital One Cafes, in which case you may also be wondering why a bank has cafes. In this post: What are Capital One Cafes? There are several dozen Capital One Cafes around the United States. Think of them as being somewhere between a coffee shop and bank. Capital One Cafes are described as community centers that are open to everyone, whether you just want a quiet place to work or relax, or whether you have questions about banking. A few things to note: Capital One Cafes are full service coffee shops operated in conjunction with Peet's Coffee; so you can get coffee, sweet treats, sandwiches, etc. Capital One Cafes have "Cafe Ambassadors" who can answer any banking questions you might have, and you can expect that each location will hav
