To prepare dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic.

In a large bowl, add prepared couscous. Add salad ingredients. Mix in dressing. Adjust seasoning, if needed, and chill until ready to serve.

Eddie's Recipe Tip:

Feel free to substitute Israeli couscous for the plain couscous. Try adding grilled shrimp and scallops for a light Mediterranean main dish.
