Here is how you make Moroccan cous cous salad:

1. Mix dry cous cous, spices and lemon zest in a large bowl.2. Combine pomegranite molasses with boiling water and then add to cous cous. Cover with cling wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute. Leave, covered, for 3-4 minutes.3. Remove cling wrap and add olive oil. Fluff cous cous with a fork until grains are well separated.4. Add all remaining ingredients and stir well. If you're using frozen vegetables and want to serve the salad straight away, defrost them in the microwave first (or cook them, if you want a warm salad).I usually make this the day before and allow the vegetables to thaw naturally.Serving Size: Makes 8 1-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PHRASER.
