Gazpacho Couscous Salad image

My husband and I tried this one out for lunch. We both thought it was tasty and very filling. Also would be good as a side for any grilled meats. Serves 4 as main dish and 8 as side dish.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I also added some black beans and corn to make it a more complete meal.
