Couscous with Mint and Tomato

Couscous is popular in Middle-Eastern dishes, it is essentially semolina wheat prepared into granules, and cooks simply by adding it to boiling water and letting sit for 5 minutes. You can then add almost any combination of herbs and vegetables to make a salad. It's great and easy to make, for a picnic or a quick lunch.
