COUSCOUS WITH TOMATOES AND SCALLION

Couscous with Tomatoes and Scallion image

This is a terrific, simple and quick side dish. I've also used this recipe to spice up a box the "Near East" brand flavored couscous as well. Simply use the amount of water specified on the box, and add the extra ingredients. It will still be ready in 5 minutes
