Quick and easy Couscous Summer Salad

Yesterday evening I wasn’t in the mood to slave over the stove and with the warm weather my appetite is less than usual anyway. So instead, I grabbed all left-overs of different ingredients I had in my  fridge and pantry and cooked up an easy and quick couscous salad you can eat lukewarm or cold. Because I just threw in everything according to my taste, I can’t give you the exact amounts. Just experiment until you get the right balance of all the flavors and textures: sour, sweet, nutty, savory, fruity, and tangy. Present it on a big serving plate and have everyone dig in.
