Fruit & Nut Couscous
128
This couscous dish is a great alternative to rice. It adds something extra with raisins and almonds, and the lemon dressing paired with fresh parsley is so fresh-tasting. It's a great make-ahead dish, can be served either hot or cold, and can even be frozen for later use. I like to serve this with pork tenderloin and roasted vegetables. Get out of the rice rut and give couscous a try!
