Wow, Melanie, this looks so gourmet and really fascinating! I'm going to make it for sure but I am not making any guarantees my husband will like it - at least I'll be able to eat it all!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious - I can't wait to try it. I love unusual recipes that have yummy ingredients!
ReplyDeleteI just made this salad for dinner. We haven't even sat down to dinner and my husband has already had a huge helping. I can't stop sneaking spoonful after spoonful, and my neighbnor already wants the recipe. THANK YOU, for a fabulously refreshing summer salad. Hopefully we are still hungry for the halibut steaks I am grilling.
ReplyDeleteOk, talented cousins of mine...you all have inspired me to branch out. We had guests over tonight and everyone loved the cous cous!
ReplyDeleteJust found your guys' blog somehow...can't remember how anymore. Anyway, I LOVE cous cous! This recipe looks delicious.
