[NEW] Couscous Salad

Couscous is a great textural element to build a salad around, providing a simple, easily dressed base that pairs flexibly with your favorite veggies and dried fruits. This side is an especially excellent option for summer cookouts. Tip: If you don't have currants in the cupboard, use whatever unsweetened dried fruit you have on hand. Raisins or chopped, dried apricots work beautifully.
