Talk about presentation. I am getting fancy over here! Easier than you think to put together and a great for you too. I love the salad alone but then having my Moni Couscous Cakes, just tops it right off into a wonderful Moni Meal!
Perfect again for Summer especially with all the tomatoes in season.
NOTE: You might want to just double everything to make more servings on the cakes. 😉
