Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Make the dressing: Add all dressing ingredients to a mason jar or small bowl and shake/stir until well mixed.
- Step 2
Cook the couscous: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium low heat. Add couscous and salt, and toast until lightly browned, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Slowly add boiling water and let the couscous come to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 12 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork, then set aside to cool.
- Step 3
Assemble the salad: Once the couscous is cooled, add cooked couscous and remaining salad ingredients to a large bowl. Give the dressing an additional stir or shake, then pour over the salad. Toss until completely mixed. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours prior to serving. Store covered in the fridge for up 3 days.
