Great Summer Side Dish -- Couscous Salad

I snagged this recipe from recipezaar, and then tweaked it a bit.  The original is only for a single serving and when you scale it up the proportions just seemed off.  I made this for a little get-together we had tonight -- outdoors.  It was a great meal for making ahead to simplify entertaining.  It also was very pretty with the yellow, red, and green to liven up the couscous.  Also the hot sauce added just a hint of flavor but didn't really make it spicy.  You could certainly scale it back though it you're leary of hot things.  Even the kids claimed they liked it and that's a hard job around here.
