The month of July is super exciting for me!! Not only am I home after a month of traveling, but I get to play around in my kitchen with my all time favorite ingredient – avocado!!
So to kick things off this month, I’m sharing one of my all time favorite recipes for an Israeli Couscous Taco Salad. I make big batches of this taco salad all the time and leave it in my fridge for the flavors to marinate together over the course of a few days, and every time I’m hungry, I just serve myself a little portion and chop up fresh avocado to toss it. Pure perfection. And if you’re in need of some more avocado inspiration – I’ve got you covered.
