JEN'S GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD



Jen's Greek Couscous Salad image

This is a recipe I created when I needed something to take to a family get-together. It can be made ahead, so you just grab it and go! You can prepare all ingredients and refrigerate separately, then mix together before serving, but this recipe keeps well too!
