Following is a delicious dinner recipe and guest post from Team Holly with The Healthy Cooking Blog.  ENJOY!

Spring has sprung, and I am so glad as this winter was COLD!  The days are longer; the sun is warming us up, and the Azaleas are blooming.  As fresh tomatoes start to ripen, I can think of nothing better to highlight their amazing juiciness than this Tomato Bruschetta Couscous Salad Recipe – an unbeatable combination of fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes at their best!

This Corn, Cucumber and Tomato Salad from Guy’s Guide to Eating Well cookbook is another can’t miss, delectable healthy mix of fresh veggies.  You know you are eating with nutrition when you have this colorful of a plate — each color providing important protective vitamins and nutrients.

All the components of bruschetta tossed with couscous is about as good as it gets! I recommend using fresh mozzarella and basil in this salad.
