My Grapefruit Couscous salad

I just made myself this for lunch just now, I might make this a regular things (that is - to post my home-cooking experiments here). Total improvisation of what was left in the fridge (note to self - must go grocery shopping a.s.a.p). So here is my recipe for a grapefruit couscous salad.
