Quinoa or couscous salad..

I have to say my first try at a 101 Cookbooks recipe was a success and I will definitely be trying out other items.  While the recipe is called Lemon-scented quinoa and obviously calles for quinoa all I had was couscous so I went with it.  And I think it turned out richer than it otherwise would have. 

Being a dedicated lemon lover I doubled the amount of lemon, added some red wine vinegar, and jalapenos to the dressing which livened it up a bit gave the salad an extra kick.  

Its a very simple salad that is making for a perfect lunch, especially with this hot muggy city weather. I'll be adding cucumber and possibly tomatoes to it.

I'm a huge fan and I love that it gives me another use for tahini!
