Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette, orange juice and thyme. Set aside. Place the couscous in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over the couscous, stirring to mix well. Cover bowl and let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Mix in the zucchini, bell peppers, onion and cumin. Pour vinaigrette over and toss everything to combine.
