Zesty Greek Couscous Salad image

This recipe is a modification from the winner of a couscous contest put on by Near East. We left out the green onions. We also used grape tomatoes instead of regular to add flavor. Very good!

I followed the recipe exactly and my salad turned out really dry. I think I'll add more dressing next time.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use more seasoning.
