Good couscous recipes for cold lunches?

Hi all

have recently been introduced to having couscous cold for lunches... it's delicious, cheap and simple to cook, but am looking for some variation in order to make it a little less samey...

What sort of combinations of veg, meat, spices etc work best?

courgette, red onion and peppers cooked in a grill pan or oven roasted. Plenty of chopped fresh mint and coriander. Plenty of lemon juice and olive oil.

Plain couscous with chopped dried apricots, and other dried fruit in is good, and is a spectacular accompaniment for lamb both hot and cold.

For about 2-300g or so of cous cous (dried):

Big handful of chopped parsley, zest and juice of 1 lemon, handful of raisins, handful of toasted pine nuts roughly chopped, 3 finely chopped spring onions, salt pepper and a big glug of olive oil. Yum

Perfect with BBQ's, summer salads and pittas.
