I have loved this recipe for YEARS. I had never had couscous until I served an LDS mission to Canada. One of my favorite families invited us over for dinner and made this salad. I have been in love since. Couscous is a grain originally used in Africa. It is made from Semolina Wheat. It has the texture of a noodle. It has a very soft texture and is DE.LISH! I LOVE that it only takes about 5 minutes to make. If you haven't ever tried it YOU MUST! You will be hooked forever. You can find it at any grocery store and even Target and Wal-Mart. DO IT!
