SALAT TANGIERS (MOROCCAN RECIPE FOR ZWT-9)

Steps:

• Place the couscous & salt in lrg bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover it by ¼-inch. Cover tightly w/cling-film & allow to stand for 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the carrots, bell pepper & beans in a saucepan w/enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil & cook for 8-10 min until just tender.
• Meanwhile, mix together all dressing ingredients in a sml bowl.
• Drain the cooked vegetables well & add to the cooked couscous, mixing well w/a fork.
• Add onions, raisins & almonds. Then pour in the dressing & toss well. Chill for at least 1 hr before serving.
• NOTE: I can look into my creative cooking future & foresee that I may eventually play w/the flavor profile of this recipe. Using the salad dressing as the flavor mechanism would allow for different fruit flavors & even a sweet version that adds sugar or honey to the mix. Feel free to use your own imagination.
