Couscous Vegetable Salad
"Couscous, a semolina pasta of tiny, round pellets that is a staple of North African cuisine, makes an excellent salad when tossed with a mixture of finely chopped, brightly colored vegetables. Other vegetables in season may be used; select them with contrasting flavors, textures and colors in mind...."
