Black Bean and Couscous Salad

Recipes »  Salad  »  Bean

You will need to season this to your taste, i like mine with a bite to it, if you dont like hot peppers you can use a red bell pepper, you need the red for color, it looks better.

 "This recipe was good. It didn''t say what kind of hot red peper to use, I used an Anaheim, and it wasn''t very spicy. 1/2 of the recipe would have been more than enough, I neglected to read the amount it served. It would be a good fairly inexpensive pot-luck salad or for a meal with guests. " - scturner97

Cover the pot and remove from heat.

Let stand for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, vinegar and cumin.

Add green onions, red pepper, cilantro, corn and beans, and toss to coat.

Fluff the couscous well, breaking up any chunks.

Add the couscous to the marinade in a bowl, verses the other way around

It is basically ready to serve, but i like to chill mine, its better when it is cold

Super easy and very yummy! I love couscous because it is so versatile and easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing such a unique combination! I changed it a bit based on what I had on hand and turned out great. Will definitely make again.
