couscous salad.

I made a big batch of this so that I can bring it for lunch the rest of the week, but I also had it for dinner last night. It was so light, refreshing and tasty. I also added some feta cheese for extra flavor and protein. It'd also be good with tomatoes and cucumbers. The lemon and garlic add a great flavor.
