Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Moroccan Couscous (dry)
  • 2 medium Zucchini (sliced into rounds)
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper (quartered)
  • 1 large Yellow Bell Pepper (quartered)
  • 1 large Red Onion (sliced into thick rings)
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1.5 cups Vegetable Broth (for couscous)
  • 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare your grill to medium-high heat. Toss zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion in a bowl with olive oil and salt. Grill vegetables until tender and charred.
  2. Cook couscous by bringing vegetable broth to a boil, adding couscous, and letting it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Chop grilled vegetables and combine with couscous in a large bowl. Add cherry tomatoes and dressing, tossing gently to combine.

Notes

Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
