Absolutely delicious as written! I used quinoa for GF option.

This was delicious. Subbed walnuts for pistachios as that is what I had. Everyone gobbled it up. The cherries are so different for a salad.

Being from Michigan, where Traverse City is known as the “Cherry Capital of the World”, I am always looking for ways to enjoy my favorite fruit. This delicious salad fits the bill! I used quinoa, roasted salted pistachios (no need to toast nuts), and maple syrup in the vinaigrette.
Next cherry venture will be your clafoutis recipe!

So, the recipe says to cook the couscous and then set it aside, but there are no further instructions about what to do with it. Do you just add the couscous at the end with the other ingredients?

Perfection. Omnivore husband was not a fan – 2/5 from him – but he is objectively wrong. This salad is a treat to the eyes as well as the mouth.

Just great! I added some dried cherries to the fresh cherries for texture. Overall, a total keeper! Are there recipes you would serve with this to make a complete meal? Tonight I made a marinated pork tenderloin (marinade included lemon, garlic, oregano, oil) but wondering if you have any vegetarian options. Thanks!
