From "The South Beach Diet" copyright 2003. Phase Two Recipe. This recipe calls for it to be chilled, but we had it warm. It was wonderful! My grocery store didn't carry the Near East roasted garlic and olive oil couscous. We just substituted with Parmesan, since it was to only flavored couscous they had.
