Recipes Tomato-Basil Cousous Is Picnic Perfection
The classic pairing of tomato and basil is always great over grilled bread, but mix it with Israeli couscous and it becomes a splendid summer salad. One of my favorite signs that summer has arrived is biting into a tomato that’s been sprinkled with some fresh basil, and realizing that it actually is fresh! Every…
