This is one of our favorite summer salads for boat trips and cookouts. It was inspired by a similar cold cous-cous salad that I used to buy freshly made at our local farm stand on Martha's Vineyard. One day they were out of it so I decided to give it a go on my own! I make it ahead of time and bring it aboard in a cooler, or put it in a big bowl on a picnic table. I like that I don't have to worry about it spoiling in the heat because there is no mayo. Incidentally, this is an excellent salad to accompany fish (cooked whole or otherwise!) Or, as you can see above, sometimes we eat it on paper plates with our favorite all-beef hot dogs.
