* 1 1/2 cups couscous
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
* 1 1/2 cups boiling water
* 1/4 cup plain yogurt
* 1/4 cup good olive oil
* 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
* 1 teaspoon curry powder
* 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Place the couscous in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in the boiling water and pour over the couscous. Cover tightly and allow the couscous to soak for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, curry, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Pour over the fluffed couscous, and mix well with a fork. Add the carrots, parsley, currants, almonds, scallions, and red onions, mix well, and season to taste. Serve at room temperature.
