Black Bean And Couscous Salad

I found this one on allrecipes and tweaked it a bit. It's a wonderful salad for a cookout or potluck, and leftovers keep well (it makes quite a large batch). Don't let the long ingredient list scare you off, it's actually very simple to make. For any ingredients with a range of amounts, the least amount is what i like to use, the greatest amount is what the original recipe calls for. This is a vegan-friendly recipe if veggie broth is substituted for chicken broth.

Steps

Bring broth to a boil in a 2-quart or larger saucepan and stir in the couscous.
Cover and remove from heat.
Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl , whisk together the olive oil , lime juice , vinegar , cumin , and goya seasoning.
Add green onions , carrot , red and jalapeno peppers , corn , cilantro , and beans.
Toss to coat.
Fluff the couscous with a fork.
Add to the veggie mixture , and mix well.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Can be served immediately , or may be chilled first.
For vegetarians use the vegetable broth.
