Recipe: Moroccan Couscous Salad with Roasted Vegetables

I love Middle Eastern flavours, sweetness of roasted vegetables and the salty & creamy textures of a feta. Hence my creation of this meal. It's great as a weekend meal on its own or as a side with your favourite grilled meats which was what we had on the weekend with 12 friends.
