About
As with many good recipes, I came up with this in an attempt to clean out my fridge :) I brought this cold salad to a ladies lunch and the verdict--yummy! The combo of fresh Mediterranean veggies is a delicious compliment to the mild, nutty tasting couscous. Serve as a main vegetarian dish, or as a side salad with grilled lemon-pepper shrimp
