TODAY'S RECIPE: BLACK BEAN AND COUSCOUS SALAD

 

 

This flavorful salad is easy to make; it's a great luncheon entree.

You can use canned beans or cook dried beans ahead of time. (It's

handy to cook a large batch of beans and keep them in the freezer to

use in various recipes.) In addition to tomatoes, you can add your

favorite garden vegetables to garnish the salad. Serves 2-4.

 

1 c couscous

1 lg clove garlic, crushed

1/2 c olive oil

1/4 c balsamic vinegar

2 c black beans, cooked

Salt and pepper

Feta cheese, tomatoes, lettuce

 

Pour 1 cup boiling water over couscous and wait 5 minutes. Add garlic

to olive oil and vinegar. Mix beans and couscous; pour dressing over.

Salt and pepper to taste; toss all together until couscous is slightly

purply-black all over.

 

Serve on a bed of lettuce and garnish with crumbled feta and tomatoes.
