Time 1h

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small celery rib, finely chopped
1 cup couscous
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, peeled and minced
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
1/2 cup canned chick-peas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley)
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • For the couscous: Heat the oil in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
  • Stir in the couscous. Cook and stir for 1 minute until coated with oil and lightly toasted. Add the water and bring to a boil, stirring. Remove from the heat and cover with lid. Let stand for 30 minutes, until cooled and the liquid is absorbed, uncovering occasionally to fluff with a fork.
  • In the meantime, make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, yogurt, oil, gingerroot, garlic, cumin, ground coriander and pepper.
  • To make the salad: Transfer the couscous to a large serving bowl. Add the cranberries (or raisins), chickpeas, bell peppers, cilantro (or parsley) and green onions. Add the dressing.
  • Toss all the ingredients together. Garnish with the lemon wedges, if using.
