Black Bean & Couscous Salad

I bought a bag of  Manitou Trading Co. Mediterranean Couscous Blend at Costco because it looked healthy, but I wasn't exactly sure what to make with it. As I searched for a good recipe, I found this one HERE.

I made this salad for our Labor Day BBQ and it turned out so yummy! Be sure to follow the cooking instructions for couscous from the recipe and not the back of the bag or you will have slimy, sticky couscous. I also doubled some of the ingredients for the sauce, which was recommended in many of the comments.

Black Bean & Couscous Salad

1 cup uncooked couscous
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
8 green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
2 (15 oz) cans black beans, drained
salt and pepper to taste

1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in 2 quart or larger sauce pan and stir in the couscous. Cover the pot and remove from heat. LET STAND FOR 5 MINUTES.
2. In large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, vinegar and cumin. Add green onions, red pepper, cilantro, corn and beans and toss to coat.
3. Fluff couscous well, breaking up any chunks. Add to the bowl with the vegetables and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve at once or refrigerate until ready to serve.
