What you’ll need:
Lifesmart Couscous – ½ cup |
2 limes, juiced |
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Less than ¼ cup |
Cumin – A few shakes |
Celery – 1 or 2 stalks |
½ Bell Pepper |
Red Onion – ¼ of a small to medium onion |
Couscous:
- Use a kettle to boil water, or bring just over a ½ cup of water to a boil on the stovetop. Feel free to use vegetable or chicken broth instead.
- Pour the ½ cup of dry couscous into a pot.
- Measure out a ½ cup of the boiled water and pour it evenly over the dry couscous, cover, and let sit for 5minutes.
- During this time, finely chop up your celery, onion, and bell pepper.
- After 5 minutes, remove the lid and fluff with a fork.
Dressing:
- Pour just less than a ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil into a measuring cup.
- Squeeze the juice of 2 limes into the measuring cup and give it a stir.
- Add a few shakes of cumin (and a little cracked pepper and sea salt if you like).
Put It Together:
- Add your veggies to the couscous.
- Drizzle the dressing on top and mix it together.
Thats it! This will be enough for a 2-4 servings, but feel free to play with the measurements depending on your taste and needs. I keep the dressing to a minimal with this recipe so it stays very light and refreshing, as it compliments the nutty flavor of the couscous nicely.
