Couscous Greek Salad Toss
"Authentic Greek cooking is all about using the best ingredients and this is as true with their regional Greek salads as it is with their simply grilled fish or meat. In that spirit, when shopping for this dish look for the ripest tomatoes (they donâ??t have to be cherry), fresh Feta cheese and, if you can find it, a green-hued fruity olive oil from Greece is also a boon to the overall flavor. Adding nutty, toasted couscous lures this popular starter or side dish to become the main course of the meal...."
