Whole Wheat Couscous With Plums Goat Cheese And Fresh Mint

---

Delightful mix of flavors from prevention magazine. Although i submitted the cooking directions for the couscous as given, please check the directions on your particular package. The cooking directions on my box were different so i followed the package instructions, rather than the recipe, for cooking the couscous. The balsamic vinegar does darken the dish, so use white balsamic if you prefer. I have never used it, though, so i am unsure what taste difference there would be.
