 Put couscous and salt in large bowl; stir in boiling water. Cover

 and let sit for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to fluff. Steam

 carrots, bell pepper and beans separately (instructions say this but I

 steam them all together). As soon as each vegetable is barely tender,

 add to couscous. Stir in red onions, currants and almonds. Whisk

 together marinade ingredients. Toss couscous and vegetable mixture

 with marinade, chill for at least one hour before serving.
