Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup boiling water
1 cup couscous
4 tomatoes
16 leaves fresh basil
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
¼ cup balsamic vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Pour boiling water over couscous in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let couscous soak until the water is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Slice the tops from tomatoes and take a very small slice of the bottoms so they will be stable upright. Use a spoon to remove and discard the tomato innards. Put tomatoes in the prepared baking dish.
Bake tomatoes in the preheated oven until lightly charred at the edges, about 20 minutes.
Line the inner walls of each tomato with 4 basil leaves.
Toss mozzarella cheese with the couscous; stuff into tomatoes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top of the stuffed tomatoes.

My husband and I love Caprese salad, but not the high prices we pay for it in restaurants. Here, we created our own version which tastes incredibly close, if not better, than any restaurant version we've tried. -Melissa Pearson, Sandy, Utah

Set water to boil in your electric kettle. Add the couscous to a large heatproof bowl, add in a good pinch of salt, and set out a plate that fits snuggly over top. When the water boils, measure out two cups and pour it into the couscous. Give it a stir and quickly cover the bowl with the plate. Allow the couscous to sit, undisturbed, for five to seven minutes.
When the couscous has cooked, remove the plate and fluff it with a fork. Toss in the arugula, chicken, tomatoes, cheese, and basil and dress with the vinegar and oil (or prepared salad dressing). Season the salad with salt and pepper and enjoy warm or store in the fridge for a cold lunch or dinner.
If available, pick up the meat, veggies, and cheese from your dining hall’s salad bar. That way, you only have to buy what you need!
