Spread arugula on a serving platter. Add the couscous, corn, tomatoes, avocado, pepitas and currants in decorative lines over the arugula. Combine basil, buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender; pulse until smooth. Top the salad with the dressing just before serving. Tips Tips: Look for Israeli couscous (sometimes called "pearl couscous" because of its larger granules) near other couscous or pasta in well-stocked supermarkets.
