Our family and friends love this low fat side dish. When I have a vegetarian here, I use vegetable broth instead of chicken. This recipe came from Cooking Light magazine.

This dish is a great way to use seasonal vegetables. The summer squash is at its peak in the summer and the couscous is a great way to showcase its flavor.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. The couscous was also a bit dry.
