1/2 cup whole wheat couscous
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vegetarian bouillon or salt
2 cup rinsed drained canned chickpeas or black beans or a mix
3-4 tablespoon Italian-style salad dressing or 2 tablespoon oil + 1 tablespoon vinegar
1 sweet pepper (any colour) chopped or 1/2 cup frozen sliced peppers
1 cup green or yellow beans (individually quick frozen is fine)
1 tomato, diced
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the couscous according to package directions adding the bouillon for flavour. Allow it to cool at least partially. Add the chickpeas, salad dressing, peppers, beans, tomato and salt and pepper to taste. This makes a great lunch - I add the frozen vegetables in the morning and they're thawed by lunch time.
