Israeli Couscous and Vegetable Salad

I needed a good dish to share for the wine event this evening, something that would please lots of different palates. I turned to Cooking Light and found a grain and vegetable salad that I could make some modifications to.

Dressing

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup good balsamic

2 tbsp olive oil

1 envelope Italian dressing seasoning

Salad

1 Package Israeli Couscous

2 Cups of Water

2 cups Cherry or Grape Tomatoes

2 oz Feta

1/2 cup of finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup of chopped pitted kalamata olives

1/4 cup chopped Italian Parsley

Directions

• Combine dressing ingredients and whisk together

• Bring water to boil and add Israeli Couscous, cook for about 8 minutes and fluff with fork

• Combine couscous, tomatoes, feta, green onions, olives and parsley in large bowl, toss with dressing

Hopefully it goes over well tonight with the salty flavor of feta, a nice light grain and lots of freshness from the veggies.
