Ever wonder how the local gourmet stores makes its couscous salad so golden yellow? It's turmeric. This spice lacks much flavor, but makes up for it in its exquisite color. The following recipe is as elegant as it is easy to make. Serve the couscous and the kebabs warm off the stove, or cold the next day. Click here to visit the new home of KitchenDaily!
My local market had an impossible-to-resist pile of ripe avocados for an impossible-to-resist price so I came home with a big bagful. And while I'm a happy member of the avocado toast for breakfast club, I also needed to find other ways to use up my bounty.

Serve with a spinach salad on the side for a complete meal. Ingredients with an asterisk (*) are available in the Whole Foods Market Family of Brands.
