Salad Days!
No. Not the Shakespearean kind of salad days full of reminiscences and regrets. You remember— Cleopatra lamenting her youthful indiscretions.
“My salad days,
When I was green in judgment: cold in blood,
To say as I said then! ”
Instead, these salad days are the too-hot-to-cook summer days when salad recipes beckon. (More prosaic, I know.)
This is a full-flavored and beautifully-presentable couscous and cherry tomato salad. It would make a stunning addition to your next buffet table.
No Shakespearean tragedy here.
