Author Notes
I had something similar to this dish at a tapas restaurant a few months ago. The cold couscous salad is so good with a hot fried egg on top. I loved it so much I had to come home and recreate it! Whats also great about this dish is that you could have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Hope you like it! —singing_baker

Make sure your couscous is at least room temp before you combine it with the avocado puree and place in the fridge to get nice and cold. About an hour.
