Author Notes
This is a wonderful vegetarian dinner or side dish that can be prepared quickly and easily. The lemony dressing, along with the spice of ginger and the nutty flavor of the couscous, make it a delicious and satisfying light supper or lunch. It's my favorite meal at the moment and I always look forward when I can eat the left overs the next day! —HomeMade-with love
