Fresh cherries have a fleeting season so enjoy them as much as possible when they are available and consider using them in more than just desserts. Their naturally sweet-tart flavor is a great balance to savory ingredients like feta and fresh herbs.

COUSCOUS SALAD WITH DRIED CHERRIES



Couscous Salad With Dried Cherries image

From the Cherry Institute. You can substitute almonds for the pine nuts or leave the nuts out. Use water or vegetable broth for a meatless dish. A very nice take on the North African classic--and quite simple.
