Salat Tangiers Moroccan Recipe for Zwt 9

i am not sure why, but i had never used much couscous in my cooking until i played zwt & no africa was 1 of the tour destinations. i fell deeply in “serious like” w/it & use it a lot in my cooking now. i am also a big fan of recipes that combine pasta plus veggie elements to work well as a single side-dish w/most meat choices. all that said, i found this recipe at a cooking-by-country website, captured it for myself & decided to share it w/you. times were vague -- so i opted to allow 5 min for ingredient prep, 20 min cook time & not include the 1 hr chill time. enjoy!
