Directions:

1. Boil 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Remove water from heat and immediately put dry couscous in pan. Stir and cover the saucepan and let sit for 8-10 minutes, until water is fully absorbed (but couscous should not be too dry).
2. Add all of the ingredients, substituting, increasing or decreasing to taste.
3. Mix well. Either serve immediately warm, or put in the fridge to cool and eat as a cold salad.
4. Enjoy!
