Mm, mmm, mmmm! I love whole wheat couscous and everything in this dish! The flavors all meld so well together that it tastes just as good cold as it does warm...(I had some for breakfast!) I used low-fat feta to cut some calories and also added twice the garlic just cuz I could! Will be making this again and again. Thanks Maureenie!
