What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

ingredients
2 cups quick-cooking couscous
1 3/4 cup boiling water
2 cups romaine lettuce, sliced
1 cup diced, cored plum tomatoes
1/2 cup minced curly leaf parsley
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 ounces feta cheese
DRESSING
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon cold water
1 clove garlic, crushed (I think more is better)
1/2 teaspoon salt
directions
Place the couscous in a large bowl and cover with the bowling water. Cover the bowl and let stand 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool completely. Add remaining ingredients and toss with dressing.
For the dressing: Whisk oil, juice, water, garlic and salt in small bowl until blended. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
When I make this, I garnish the salad with additional tomatoes, Greek olives and more crumbled feta.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I toned down the lemon dressing just a bit and added more garlic. I think maybe next time I'll just stick with a vinaigrette instead of the lemon flavor at all.
