Source of recipe: I threw this together just now for lunch. This recipe is very versatile and lends itself well to substitutions. I prefer using the Israeli style cous cous because it has a bit more of a pasta feel than the smaller cous cous. I've never tried it, but you can also try using rice in this salad.
