Couscous Salad

 Hi
Wish you all a very happy New Year!!!
It was decided by the GOURMET SEVEN that we cook picnic foods from BBC FOODS and I decided to start 2013 blogging with a very healthy salad recipe from BBC FOOD.Earlier cous cous was very available in Chennai, but now most of the ingredients, rare fruits and vegetables are available. I got this pack of couscous from Gormei market and preparing this was so easy.
