Votes: 2

This delicious and filling salad is made with ptitim, a small pasta also known as Israeli couscous for its similar appearance. Boiled ptitim is mixed with caramelized onions for a richer flavor, and grilled or oven-roasted zucchini pieces, parsley, and arugula add a summery freshness and richness. A touch of goat cheese for a velvety texture and a tart lemon-vinegar dressing make this salad truly delicious. Serve it on its own or as a side dish with meat.
