Thank you. I did look for a recipe and this one looks close to
the packaged salad. The cucumber was chopped quite small:

1 cup Pearl Couscous
1 1/2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint
salt


Preparation
Prepare couscous in chicken broth(rather than water) per package
directions. Drain and allow to cool.
In a bowl whisk together vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil. To the
couscous add the dressing, cucumber and mint. Toss well and serve. May
be made several hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.
