LEMON AND HERB COUSCOUS



Lemon and Herb Couscous image

From inspiredtaste.com: "We love this light couscous salad - it doubles as a side, can be the main event or works well topped with grilled chicken or Adam's favorite, shrimp! With lots of texture from crisp cucumber, sweet tomatoes, crunchy nuts and raisins, this is certainly one of our favorites. You can even make it ahead of time. This salad is delicious when eaten straight away, but you can also make the salad, cover it and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. This way all the flavors to marry and mingle, making for an even more delicious salad. One note, here. If you are planning to make ahead of time, keep the tomatoes and walnuts separate until you;re ready to serve. This way they will remain crisp."
