Black Bean and Couscous Salad

This one comes from Heather Parker in Vermont. A great salad recipe from my favorite vegetarian!
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked couscous
1-1/4 cups vegetable broth
6 Tbs. olive oil
4 Tbs. fresh lime juice
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. cumin (or to taste - I used more)
8 green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded & chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
2 (15 oz.) cans black beans, drained
salt & pepper to taste

  1. Bring veggie broth to a boil in a saucepan and stir in couscous.  Cover and remove from heat.  Let stand for 5 min.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, vinegar and cumin.  Add green onions, red pepper, cilantro, corn and beans and toss to coat.
  3. Fluff the couscous well, breaking up any lumps.  Add to the veggies and mix well.  Season with salt and pepper and serve at once or refrigerate until ready to serve.
