Immediately remove pan from heat and let couscous stand, covered, 5 minutes. Cut

tomato into quarters and in a blender puree with mustard and vinegar until

smooth. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream. Season dressing with salt

and pepper. Halve cherry tomatoes and tear basil leaves into bite-size pieces.

In a large bowl toss together couscous, dressing, cherry tomatoes, and basil and

season with salt and pepper.
