Black Bean and Couscous Salad

Jump to Recipe

I am so excited to share this salad recipe with you. I make often and I eat on it through the week. This Black Bean and Couscous Salad is the perfect summer recipe.

Wheat Couscous

Couscous is not technically a grain. The combination of semolina wheat and water make this more like a pasta. Couscous takes only five minutes to prepare and works well as a side dish in place of rice, pasta or potatoes. Or make it into a salad as I did in this recipe. Tell me this doesn’t look delicious?!

This recipe would also be great on a whole wheat tortilla shell. It’s both filling and delicious. Not to mention it’s super easy and fast to make. You could also replace the couscous with quinoa.

Black Beans & Corn

Use organic black beans and organic corn to make it super healthy. This recipe would also be great on a whole wheat tortilla shell. It’s both filling and delicious. Not to mention it’s super easy and fast to make. You could also replace the couscous with quinoa.

Garden Vegetables

I love using fresh garden vegetables in my recipes. If you have a garden use your cherry tomatoes and spinach from it. They are the best!

Avacado

I love adding avocados to this dish for a healthy fat. I add this last. You can also leave this ingredient out if you aren’t an Avacado fan.
