Fluff couscous with a fork. Gently stir in cilantro and oil; season with salt and pepper.
I enjoyed the texture and ease of making the couscous, but found it too bland. Next time I will replace most of the water with orange and lime juice to boost the flavor.
This was an easy recipe to toss together, and tasted good. The cilantro was a nice addition.
