Balsamic Couscous

This is a recipe I developed when I couldn't find one that was exactly what I wanted. This is a good side dish recipe for many different menus. It's also very versatile. You can add any different kind of veggies along with the onion (celery, peas, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, corn). I use tri-color couscous in this recipe, but any kind will work.
