Couscous Salad..plain and simple.

It was hot yesterday and I made the decision to go to the late gym class. And being the control freak I am needed to have dinner ready before I left so husband could feed the kids while I was out and it would be ready when I got home. So this was made in 10 minutes and only one pot was required…thats just awesome right there.

I added a handful of sultanas during the absorbing process..

Couscous Salad.

What you will need..

• 200g couscous
• 200ml chicken stock
• 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
• 1 Lebanese cucumber, seeds removed, diced
• 1/2 red onion, finely sliced
• 1 yellow capsicum, seeds removed, diced
• 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, seeds removed, diced
• 2 tbs chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tbs lemon juice
• 1 tbs hummus

How to:

1. Place the couscous in a large bowl. Place the stock and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan, bring to just boiling point, then pour over the couscous. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Fluff couscous with a fork and season with salt and pepper. When couscous is completely cold, stir in the cucumber, onion, capsicum, tomato and parsley.
3. In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, the lemon juice and hummus, add to the couscous and stir until well combined
