Couscous Salad

For those not familiar with it, couscous is a small pasta popular in Greece, the Middle East, and North Africa. In your favorite health or gourmet food store, you will probably find flavored varieties without salt, but make sure you read the label—the ones found in most grocery stores do contain salt.

1 cup (175 g) couscous

½ cup (90 g) tomato, coarsely chopped

¼ cup (40 g) green onion, minced

¼ cup (30 g) green bell pepper, coarsely chopped

¼ cup (15 g) fresh parsley, minced

4 tablespoons (60 ml) lemon juice

2 ½ tablespoons (35 ml) olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Cook couscous according to package directions. Transfer the couscous to a bowl and cool. When cool, break apart with a fork. Add the tomato, green onion, bell pepper, and parsley to the couscous. Put the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, and black pepper into a small jar. Cover and shake well to blend. Pour over the salad, mixing well.
