Couscous Pasta Salad

RECIPE

1 cup of couscous

1/2 red bell pepper

1/2 yellow bell pepper

1/2 orange bell pepper

1/3 parsley bundle

1 cucumber

1 tomato

Kalamata olives (amount depends on you, I like about 20 sliced up!)

Low-fat Greek vinaigrette salad dressing

Pinch of salt

Pinch of pepper

 

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add your couscous, and let boil for 5-10 minutes constantly stirring to prevent sticking at the bottom of the pot. Drain any excess water using the bowl to pot method to save all the couscous. Let cool.

As the couscous is cooling, begin chopping up your vegetables. Dice your peppers, cucumber, tomato, and olives. Finely chop the parsley. Once the couscous is cooled, transfer to a bowl. Add all your vegetables, and lightly dress with Greek vinaigrette. Toss all together.

Enjoy!
