Couscous Salad A Taste Sensation

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Scaled back for 3-4 serves and then even used less vegies and fruit than the recipe called for and for 3 persons still had a full serve left over, though the DM has claimed than for lunch. Personally though very enjoyable I preferred what I tasted without the dressing so would make without in the future but otherwise a very healthy recipe that got some vegies into my DM which I very grateful for, thank you ChrystalisUnfurled and made for Name that Ingredient tag game.
