Party-Size Greek Couscous Salad

Submitted by Little Bee

"I got this from Allrecipes and have served it many times during summer parties and it is always a hit so I posted it for the Zaar World Tour. This is what the original chef says... "If you are tired of the same old potato or macaroni salad and want raves, try this at your next picnic or pot luck! This recipe can be easily adapted depending on the veggies and dressing you use. Salad can be made the night before; however, add dressing just before serving"

I have been making a very similar recipe for years and love it! I usually use plain couscous and add some red onions. Sometimes I just use oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper as dressing. Delicious!
