Couscous salad

I love couscous, a lot of people are not all that familiar with it, however it is a delightful side, I think you will like it too. You can buy couscous at walmart it is usually next to the ready made rice creation things.    I let the onions and what not marinate in the dressing for about 3 hours before I made up the couscous.  I also added a tablespoon of chipotle paste.  I like stuff spicy.  Enjoy!
