Easy Summer Couscous Salad With Turkey
Why stay in the kitchen on this fabulous Summer evening, I have created the perfect Summer salad that takes minutes to make.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of orange juice
1 1/3 cups of couscous
1/3 cup of raisins
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons of olive oil
1 cup of shredded carrots
1/3 cup of toasted walnuts
1 cup of cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 cup of scallions, chopped
2 pounds of turkey breast cut in strips
3 cups of torn fresh baby spinach
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in 1/2 cup of orange juice, the couscous, and the raisins. Cover the pan, them remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork and transfer the mixture to a large bowl to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil until it's well blended.
Add the remaining vegetables to the couscous,( you can layer on top or you can mix together which ever you prefer). Pour in the dressing and you have the perfect Summer salad to enjoy the evening and watch the sunset as you enjoy your dinner.
