This sounds like such a refreshing summer combination. The sweetness of fresh cherries with peppery arugula, crunchy pistachios, and couscous sounds really well balanced, while the balsamic vinaigrette would bring everything together nicely. I also like that the goat cheese is optional, making it easy to adapt to different tastes. Definitely a lovely light meal for a warm day!

In reply to Susan. Hi Susan, I recommend with fresh cherries when they are in season, but dried fruit will work as well.

Made this last night and subbed quinoa for the couscous. It was delicious–even the hubby liked it (admittedly he does like a hefty salad). Your salads are always my “fall back” when I’m looking for a new one to try.

This salad looks so delicious. It’s destined to become a staple, starting tomorrow. All of your salads are so creative and delicious. (Good to see Cookie; I miss seeing her.)

Could you make the salad with dried cherries?
