Zesty Couscous Medley

This was a yummy side or main dish. If you enjoy couscous you'll enjoy this. It was creamy and the Italian dressing made it pretty tangy. I love vegetables and potatoes, they tend to be my comfort food, so creamy comfort food without the guilt, I'm happy :) We had this along side some baked chicken and salad, but I look forward to having it as a yummy lunch.
