Apple and Couscous-Bulgur Salad
"Studded with dried cherries and almonds, this hearty salad pairs well with roast pork or even barbecue. Boiled cider and lemon juice add a touch of pucker that keeps the salad from tasting too sweet. You can make your own boiled cider using the recipe on our site or buy it online or in specialty stores (or substitute regular apple cider)...."
