Black Bean and Couscous Salad
As far as I’m concerned, you can never have too many go-to summer salads. This fabulous southwestern-flavored black bean and couscous salad is a favorite of mine. Not only is it absolutely delicious with its fresh Mexican-inspired flavors and colorful vegetables, it is quick and easy to prepare. Did I mention that it’s healthy as well?
This salad doesn’t contain any mayonnaise which eliminates one hot-weather worry, and it goes well with anything you could possibly grill—chicken, beef, fish, veggies, etc. It joins my orzo pasta salad with sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese as a summer salad staple. I make both of them several times from spring to fall (not that you couldn’t enjoy either of them in the winter).
With a summer of barbecues, picnics, and pot lucks ahead of us, you need this recipe in your repertoire. Trust me.
