Couscous Salad With Broccoli and Raisins

Submitted by SeaChelle

"From the September 2008 Whole Living Body+Soul magazine. This is so tasty, and it makes an excellent lunch. The ingredients below are for one serving, but I've quintipled (haha 5x) them on Sunday night and had lunch for the whole week. While everyone else is eating soggy cafeteria food, I have a healthy, satisfying, delicious lunch. It's good warm or cold. Also, to simplify, follow the microwave directions on the couscous package for as many servings as you'd like. Then add the remaining ingredients in the proper amounts."
