Description

Couscous is fun to say, and it’s even more fun to eat when mixed with chickpeas, veggies, and sweet little raisins. This salad is full of goodies and throws a big thumbs-up to your well-being with a nice dose of potassium, selenium, protein, fiber, and more.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Instant Couscous
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Grated Lemon Zest
  • 1 can (14 Oz. Size) Chickpeas, Drained And Rinsed
  • 2  Scallions, Thinly Sliced
  • ½ cups Diced Cucumber
  • 1  Bell Pepper (yellow, Red Or Orange Work Best Because They Are Sweeter), Diced
  • ½ cups Raisins
  • ¼ cups Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley
  • Kosher Salt And Ground Black Pepper, To Taste

Preparation

Prepare couscous according to package instructions. Once the couscous is ready and has absorbed all of the liquid, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.

Add olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Fold to mix thoroughly. Add the chickpeas, vegetables, raisins, and parsley. Toss to mix. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Serve as a side, or enjoy it on its own.

Note: For extra flavor, you can cook couscous in a broth or stock instead of water.
