Couscous + Fruit

I don’t do a lot of recipe posts because, well, this isn’t Pinterest, okay? But today, the thing I’m most excited to talk about happens to be the couscous fruit salad I made for a potluck, so this is what you get:

Cold Couscous Salad with Fruit

• 2 cups whole wheat couscous
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• 1 mango, cubed
• 1/2 lemon, zest and juice
• 8 basil leaves, chopped
• salt, pepper

1. Cook couscous according to instructions (usually 1 to 1 water to couscous ratio), let cool
2. Add mango, blueberries, strawberries, basil, lemon zest
3. Dress with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste
4. Refrigerate

Then go up on your roof with a book, a giant glass of water, and enjoy the view.

Oh, you don’t have a roof? Come share mine!
