Couscous Salad With Dried Tomato Vinaigrette

"From Southern Living. Toasted spices, dried tomato and roasted red pepper make this recipe stand out. Also very attractive with the cilantro and purple onion. Roasting the red pepper makes for the best taste and texture but I have used the ones from a jar and the world did not end."
