Party-Size Greek Couscous Salad image

I got this from Allrecipes and have served it many times during summer parties and it is always a hit so I posted it for the Zaar World Tour. This is what the original chef says... "If you are tired of the same old potato or macaroni salad and want raves, try this at your next picnic or pot luck! This recipe can be easily adapted depending on the veggies and dressing you use. Salad can be made the night before; however, add dressing just before serving

I made this salad for a party last weekend and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the kalamata olives. They added a nice salty and briny flavor to the dish. I will definitely be making this salad again.
