Couscous Salad

Submitted by Chef #283740

"This dish is served at our cafe at work. The chef was kind enough to share the recipe. It makes a great summer lunch for vegans or side dish for others. I use orange juice for the liquid to give the couscous a more flavor. This will last several days in the refrigerator."
