Instructions

Either follow the directions on the box of couscous or make your own like this:

Or bring 3 cups of water or chicken broth, and 1 Tbsp oil to a boil. Then stir in 1 ½ cups couscous. Cover and remove from heat. Allow all liquid to absorb (usually about 6 minutes) then fluff with fork.

Empty the couscous into a box and add the rest of the ingredients and pour the dressing on. Enjoy right away or chill first. Yum!!
