Tips
I like the taste of it better warmed up a bit, but it tastes good warm, hot, or cold. You can add golden raisins to it also but I don't like it that way so I omitted it!
Directions
In a large bowl, combine couscous and boiling water. Stir to mix, then cover and let stand until all the water has been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Add green onions, bell pepper, carrot, cabbage, parsley.
In a small bowl mix lemon juice, vinegar, oil, curry powder. Add to salad and toss to mix. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Serving Size: Makes about 8 1-cup servings
