Shame your fregola didn't go according to plan, but you still made it look beautiful - wish I could make some of my disasters look that good. Great thought to add some avocado, and yes I can imagine this being lovely with a piece of fish.<br /><br />PS Thanks for Couscous & Consciousnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616224893242380904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-56289743114610865962011-01-21T08:02:05.300-10:002011-01-21T08:02:05.300-10:00I've been trying to get my hands on fregola fo...I've been trying to get my hands on fregola for some time now.

(they do seem a bit far off, don't they?) Sorry about the fregola but I look forward to seeing your variations in the future.

I get sidetracked a lot with the kids and always get bummed out when their shenanigans cause me to ruin a dish or ingredient. I'm glad you have some fregola leftover so that you can experiment with it again. Saying all that, the salad sure looks beautiful and definitely says California to me!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731435798319897025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-568462901095961532011-01-19T12:11:21.783-10:002011-01-19T12:11:21.783-10:00I think it still looks good and I never would have...I think it still looks good and I never would have known that the fregola was overcooked.<br /><br />Work always gets in the way, doesn't it?!Michelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377795706095031064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-44897873812062492242011-01-19T11:19:08.795-10:002011-01-19T11:19:08.795-10:00Well, the salad certainly looks amazing!

We've had burnt cookies, overcooked chicken and yes, droopy, mushy pasta. I can commiserate! <br />I'm eager to give this one a try.
