Curried Couscous Salad

submitted by butterflydog

1 1/2 cups uncooked couscous
3 cups vegetable broth or water
1 cup dark raisins
1 small bunch fresh parsley chopped
1 can of chickpeas rinsed and well drained
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 red tomato chopped
1/4 cup red onion chopped
curry powder to taste ( I used 2 tsp )
allspice or to taste ( I used 1/2 tsp )
Juice from one large fresh lemon
1/2 to 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and cracked black pepper to taste

I adapted this Net recipe for another delicious vegetarian salad.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and stir in couscous. Cover and remove
from heat and let stand 10 minutes covered or until couscous has absorbed
the water and is soft. Fluff with a fork. Place couscous in a bowl and
add everything else and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and
pepper. One may use the curry powder and allspice to taste as desired.
The sweetness of the raisins offsets the sharp curry powder.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings
