Couscous Salad Greek Style (The Eat Clean Diet Cookbook by Tosca Reno)
This recipe is a variation of a Greek salad. I have just added the
couscous to up the nutritional quality of the dish. I made mine, then
put in fridge and let it chill before serving. Wonderful!
Ingredients:
1 cup dry whole wheat couscous
3/4 cup vegetable stock
3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 Tbsp. best quality olive oil
1 Tbsp. lime juice (the juice of 1 lime)
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 cup cucumber, chopped and seeded
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1/2 cup feta cheese (optional, I made mine without)
sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Preperation:
1. Bring stock and orange juice to a boil. Add couscous and stir. Then
turn off heat and cover pot tightly. Don't peek. Let stand.
2. Make dressing by combining olive oil and lime juice. Whisk and set
aside.
3. Back to the couscous. Remove lid and fluff grains with a fork. Add
chopped vegetables and drizzle with dressing. Add oregano and season
with sea salt and ground black pepper. Best served cold. Enjoy!
