Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces whole red and yellow peppers
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup couscous
2 scallions

Steps:

  • Quarter peppers. Slice on thin slicing blade of food processor; if you have no processor, cut in julienne strips.
  • Following package directions, bring water to boil in covered pot for couscous (each manufacturer recommends a different amount of water).
  • In serving bowl, combine mustard, vinegar and sugar, mixing well to dissolve sugar.
  • Add couscous to boiling water. Cover and turn off heat. Allow to sit 3 to 5 minutes, until all water has been absorbed and couscous is tender.
  • Meanwhile, chop scallions.
  • Stir peppers and scallions into dressing, and when couscous is ready stir into salad.
