Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked pearled cous cous
- 1 medium cantaloupe, diced
- 1 medium pineapple, diced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 3 cups arugula
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella pearls or cheese of choice

Dressing
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook couscous according to directions.
- While couscous is cooking, slice your cantaloupe, pineapple and red onion.
- Mix your dressing, mixing 2 parts olive oil to 1 part balsamic vinegar. You can sweeten as needed with the honey if you choose not to follow the above recommendations.

Notes
To store, keep in tight glass tupperware container in the fridge for 2-3 days. I like to save the dressing for when I'm eating it, rather than pouring it on at once, to avoid it getting soggy.
