I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pistachios from this salad. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

I had a hard time finding Israeli couscous, so I used regular couscous instead. It still turned out great!

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more herbs or spices to give it a bit more flavor.
