Crunchy Couscous Salad with Currants and Mint
What's not to love about this salad? It's sweet, savory, crunchy, and full of bright herbs and lemon juice. You can make it ahead, cover it, and leave it at room temperature up to four hours before serving. Resist the urge to refrigerate it, though–the couscous will dry out quickly. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, try quinoa.
