This recipe is great hot or cold. I invented it in grad school when I had no time to cook. It's a quick and easy one dish recipe. I use it as a side dish for nice meals or a full meal for lunch. You can make it in 5 minutes or less and eat immediately. For extra protein you can add chicken breast. Ingredients:
1/3 cup couscous |
1/3 cup dried cranberries |
2/3 cup boiling water |
1/2 cucumber, diced |
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese |
2 teaspoons balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, or to taste |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Place the couscous and cranberries in a heatproof bowl. Pour in the boiling water, and stir with a fork. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and set aside 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Fluff the couscous with a fork, and fold in the cucumber and feta cheese. Season to taste with balsamic vinaigrette and salt.
