I have always loved couscous, especially when lots of goodies are added in for flavor and crunch. I needed a side dish the other night and this worked out perfectly! It’s very pretty too!
The sweetness of the cranberries, raisins and apricots balanced the salty feta cheese perfectly. Even my oldest son loved it, which surprised me as dried fruit is not his thing.
I will be serving this again and again, it was so easy to throw together I didn’t even take other pictures, it just wasn’t necessary.
