Vegan Couscous Salad
With chunks of onion, tomato, and bacon, smothered in ranch dressing, it is full of flavor!

Recipe Summary Vegan Couscous Salad
This is a great couscous recipe with lots of vegetables. If you are not vegan, you can add some feta cheese to the recipe, but it tastes great without. I often make it for potlucks or parties.
