- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch quarter-pieces.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Finely chop parsley.
- Drain olives, discarding liquid, then roughly chop.
- To the boiling water, add couscous. Cook uncovered for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
