This salad from Paula Wolfert’s award winning book, Couscous and other Good Food from Morocco was served at the final lunch at Oldways’ 1st Mediterranean Diet Conference. Paula helped us design the menu, and was fluttering around as the buffet was assembled. She needn’t have worried. The lunch was a huge hit!
