NOTES
KID NOTE: The kids turned their noses up to the idea of apricots in their couscous, but ate it with little complaint – not wanting to admit they liked it.
VEGETARIAN TIP: Marinate zucchini, onion, and firm tofu in tandoori sauce. Grill and serve over couscous.
GLUTEN FREE MODIFICATIONS: Use quinoa instead of couscous.
Is there something I could substitute for the yogurt? I can’t eat dairy right now but really want to make this recipe! Thanks
I know there are non-dairy yogurt products with almond milk. I’ve never tried them, but I would imagine it would work really well.
