We came across this recipe in Cooking Light Magazine. It has such great, fresh flavor, it can be so much more than a dressing for salad. It would be great as a marinade for fish or chicken. You can also use it as a light sauce on the side of grilled meat or fish. This recipe will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks, so you’re always ready for a great dressing or sauce!

Couscous is a funny starch, it doesn’t have a lot of flavor on its own, but it works well as a base for vegetable or meat dishes. It also mixes beautifully into salads and can be flavored with herbs like oregano, basil or mint, or even studded with fruit like raisins or apricots. It’s a very neutral — and nutritious — base for all sorts of dishes. We like using the “pearl” sized couscous to make the dish more substantial. This recipe can be changed to incorporate any vegetables or herbs you have on hand.
Here’s a dinner solution that is chock-full of fresh flavors. Throw it together before you head out the door, all the tastes will meld together, and dinner will be ready to serve when you return home!
