Mediterranean couscous never tasted so rich and crunchy than with toasted almonds and a glaze of honey Dijon!

I really appreciate the flavors at play in this recipe. I actually picked up the slivered almonds for a cabbage salad I love to make & when I saw on the back of the package a recipe guide for couscous I was excited because I'm obsessed with couscous. The turmeric & cinnamon are super healthy for you & I used raw honey. Didn't have the raisins but added chives, garlic & ginger into the sauté. The end result is lively on your palate & a great light between meal snack. Love it! Highly recommend!
