I loved this! I'm on the Weight Watchers CORE program and it fit right in, with a slight adjustment to the olive oil. Because I eat breakfast at 5:00 a.m. I'm starving at 9 a.m. at work so usually bring a CORE snack to have. I whipped this up before I left for work this morning and frankly, I could eat the whole thing, but won't. Oh, almost forgot. I made it with Quinoa because I didn't have couscous. Thank you for this terrific healthy recipe.
