Couscous salad

  • 3 cups of cooked couscous
  • about 30 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 of a cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • one 16-oz can of chickpeas, drained
  • (optional) very finely chopped squash, zucchini or broccoli, briefly steamed or microwaved
  • (optional) very finely chopped halloumi cheese (a sheep's milk cheese available from Neomonde or Whole Foods in the dairy case)
  • couple of good big glogs of olive oil (maybe 4 Tbsp)
  • salt, to taste
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice and/or white wine vinegar. If you have some tarragon
    vinegar, it is a nice touch also.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss.

I like to use the tri-color couscous.
