Salad Days! Couscous With Tomatoes and Herbs

Salad Days! Couscous With Tomatoes and Herbs

 

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.
