Prepare couscous (1 1/3 cup uncooked)
Chill (Works well to do the day before)
Add diced vegetables/herbs:
3 green onions
yellow and red bell pepper
carrots
celery
dried cranberries
chopped tomatoes
garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
chopped parsley or other herbs that suit your taste
Add dressing to taste; serve chilled or room temperature
Pomegranate Chipotle Vinaigrette
I made a standard vinaigrette (1/4 C. vinegar combined with minced garlic, fresh ground salt and pepper, to 3/4 C. olive oil drizzled in while whisking)
I used Cowgirl Brands Texas Olive Ranch - Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar and Rattlesnake Chipotle and Pepper Olive Oil. Pure heaven. The balsamic vinegar is amazing, and the chipotle in the olive oil complements the vinegar perfectly. I bought the vinegar and oil at the Farmer's Market, and I will definitely be trying some more varieties. The prices are the same online (http://texasoliveranch.com/index.html), but you'll have to pay shipping, and you won't get to walk around on Saturday morning listening to acoustic guitar, eating black bean sweet potato breakfast tacos, and purchasing loads of beautiful organic vegetables.
This dish is pink! It really is an appetizing pink, though. It's delicious.
