Healthy and delicious! :)
I find this way tastes better than when you cook the couscous in a pot of water. I found the recipe for how to cook the couscous somewhere online but added the tomatoes and cucumber and salad dressing to it and it tastes so much better with those things. It's not bad with chick peas in it too. I hope someone else loves it as much as I do. :)

Step 1Put 2 1/4 cups of water into a pot with a little salt and put on to boil.
-
Step 2While the water boils, you will need to prepare the couscous. Get out a large casserole dish. Spread the 1 1/2 cups couscous evenly on the bottom of the pan.
-
Step 3The water should be bubbling by now, so add in the 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and stir.
-
Step 4Turn off the stove and pour the water/oil mixture into the dish that has the couscous in it.
I didn't take a picture of this, so here is what the recipe looks like on paper.
-
Step 5Cover with the saran wrap immediately so that no heat can get out.
-
Step 6Leave on the counter for 15 minutes, which is the time it takes for the water to be absorbed by the couscous.
-
Step 7Cut up the tomatoes and the cucumber while you are waiting. Just chop them into chunks.
-
Step 8When the 15 minutes are up, take a fork and *fluff* the couscous.
The tomatoes and cucumber can be added in and mixed with it at any point now.
-
Step 9*Optional* You can add Italian salad dressing to make it taste better. Just add as much as you like.
The whole wheat kind tastes better without it and the plain kind tastes better with it. -
Step 10Cover with the saran wrap and store in fridge when not in use.
Enjoy!
