Mediterranean Couscous

5.0(7)

Found this recipe in a magazine a few years ago. Don't remember which on. My family loves it. I use a variety of fresh herbs depends on what I have on hand.I also increase the oil and juice ( double) Can be served hot or at room temperature even good chilled. I sometimes add some crumbled feta cheese
