Directions
In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Reserve.
In a large bowl combine couscous, cucumber, tomato, olives, feta and herbs. Mix thoroughly then add the vinaigrette. Mix another couple of times so everything is dressed. Check the seasoning again, it might need a splash more vinegar and a little more salt.
Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Preheat grill to 400 F.
Brush the slices of ham with vegetable oil and grill for 1 to 2 minutes a side until warm and lightly caramelized.
On a large platter, lay out the grilled ham and top with the couscous salad.
