Zesty Greek Couscous Salad image

This recipe is a modification from the winner of a couscous contest put on by Near East. We left out the green onions. We also used grape tomatoes instead of regular to add flavor. Very good!

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this salad changed my mind! The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the couscous is perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again.
