Prep: 12 minutes; Cook: 5 minutes. This quick variation of the traditional grain salad uses couscous instead of bulgur, but keeps the distinctive flavor blend of mint, parsley, and lemon juice. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided |
1/2 teaspoon dried mint |
2/3 cup uncooked couscous |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved |
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
2 tablespoons minced red onion |
Directions:
1. Bring 1 cup broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; remove from heat. Add mint and couscous to broth; cover and let stand 5 minutes.
2. Transfer to a bowl; fluff with a fork. Add remaining 1/4 cup broth, oil, and remaining ingredients to couscous. Stir gently.
