CUCUMBER AND ISRAELI COUSCOUS SALAD
I love this tabbouleh-like mixture because of all the herbs and refreshing flavors, and also because of the nice contrast in textures. Make sure that you cook the couscous until the spheres are tender but not gummy. I have seen package directions that call for too little water; make sure you cook them in twice their volume of water.

OUR FAVORITE LEMON HERB COUSCOUS SALAD
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. See the notes section below for our tips.

- To toast pumpkin seeds quickly and easily, just heat up a dry non-stick skillet and add in the pumpkin seeds. Be sure that the heat isn't up too high (somewhere around medium is perfect) because they'll burn quite easily. Also, be careful, because as pumpkin seeds toast, they start to pop and jump out of the pan.
