I have recently been introduced to Israeli couscous and I love it! It's a great alternative to pasta or rice. Today I am providing you as super salad recipe that I am sure you will love.
Ingredients
1 1\2 cups Israeli couscous
1/2 yellow pepper
1/2 green pepper
1 medium tomato
1/2 large cucumber
1 stick of celery
1/2 cup green onion
1 lime (juiced)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
Directions
-start by cooking the couscous as the box/bag suggests (boiled in salt water)
-cut vegetables into small bite size pieces and put into a large bowl
-once the couscous is cooked let it cool for a little bit (fluffing occasionally so it won't stick together) then add it to the bowl with vegetables
-add juice of the lime, oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix it together,
TASTE! Now is when you can adjust the flavors, if you like more pepper add it now.
-when it's just right refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes, or until you're ready to eat.
I hope you find this as refreshing and delicious as I do. Once you have perfected it try switching out different vegetables that you like or that are in season. Enjoy!
**this is a great pot-luck dish**
Live Healthy,
Nadia
