Cous cous

[jeanette1976]

How do i make the 'marinade' that cous cous is mixed with when it's bought in a tub from the salad counter in the supermarket? It's got basil, olive oil, probably lemon juice but I'm not sure what else... butI DO know that its absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Sometimes, olives are mixed with the same sauce, marinade.

Also, how else can i cook it.. I always seem to find it tasting extremely bland....

It's got fresh coriander in, and chopped red peppers......

I'm not normally a fan of packet things but Ainsley Harriot does a range of flavoured cous cous, the moroccan one is really nice (moroccan medley?) and tastes like the tubby stuff
