Notes

• Couscous is fairly simple to prepare. You just toss it into boiling water, bring back to the boil andturn it off and let it sit with the lid on. You can find it in the supermarket with the pasta.
• This dish is a great vegetarian meal and easy to prepare. The dressing really highlights the simple flavours of the vegetables.
