WW COUSCOUS SALAD



Ww Couscous Salad image

This is a filling, low points salad. If you really want to make it lower points, cut the amount of couscous you use (my usual couscous is 9 points per cup). I actually use 1/3 cup couscous for 3 points and leave out the olive oil from the dressing to make it really lean. As written, this recipe provides a total of 12 points but using 1/3 cup couscous and no olive oil gives 3 points only. Serves 2 as a lunch or up to 4 as a side dish. Cook time includes half an hour for the salad to chill in the refrigerator. This is easy to increase for large groups or take-to-work lunches.

Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup broth (a garlic and herb stock cube is perfect but chicken broth also works nicely)
1 cup couscous
10 cherry tomatoes
1/2 cucumber
1 yellow bell pepper
3 spring onions (also known as scallions)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the broth to boiling, or crumble a stock cube into 3/4 cup boiling water and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the couscous to the hot broth, cover and leave to "cook"- about 5 minutes. Then allow to cool while chopping the salad veggies.
  • Quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the cucumber, bell pepper and spring onions/ scallions.
  • Make the dressing- pour into a small jug or bowl the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper and whisk until the two liquids are completely blended together.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork.
  • Add the salad veggies to the couscous and stir.
  • Drizzle the dressing over and stir to mix.
  • Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill and for the flavours to blend.
  • Serve and enjoy!
