Garden Vegetable Couscous

You can use any variety of bell pepper or cherry tomato in this recipe.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1/2 small orange bell pepper, stem and seeds removed
  • 4 small scallions, white and light-green parts only
  • 12 small yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus grated zest for garnish (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place couscous in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling water over the couscous, cover, and let stand 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Cut bell pepper into 1-inch-long matchsticks, and add to the warm couscous. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, and add to the bowl. Add cherry tomatoes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil and lemon juice together. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over couscous, vegetables, and toss. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired, and serve.
