CURRIED COUSCOUS SALAD WITH DRIED CRANBERRIES

Curried Couscous Salad With Dried Cranberries image

At this time of year I start to get tired of the same old pasta and potato salads. I found this recipe in the Cooking Light 2002 Annual cookbook. It didn't take long to make, should be made ahead and was a refreshing change.
