fork;  spread on lined cookie sheet. Let stand 5 minutes. In large

vinegar and 2 tablespoons water; toss gently to mix well. Add oil;

Notes: I did not bother with step two. I just poured the warm  couscous
into a large shallow stainless steel bowl I use for  mixing/tossing big
salads and let it sit there while I was washing  and preparing the
green onions and basil. I stirred it around a few  times, and it cooled
off fine.  Also, I spread the green olives in a ring around the edge of
my  serving bowl. It looked nice, and they were easier to avoid for
anyone who is not as crazy about green olives as I am. Posted to  EAT-L
