Рецепт Grilled Vegetable and Couscous Salad
Grilled Vegetable and Couscous Salad ~ A perfectly light and flavorful salad with grilled veggies, couscous and a simple vinaigrette!
I love grilled vegetables! The intense outdoor heat seems to really highlight the natural flavors of my favorite vegetables! I’m also lazy. Cooking on the grill seems to cook everything quicker. And I know that grilling also involves fewer dishes! All this time-saving means more summer for me to enjoy!
Couscous is perfect for the lazy cook. It cooks up quickly and involves one pot! Throw in a few perfectly grilled vegetables and a tangy vinaigrette and you have yourself a simple, yet incredibly flavorful side dish that would compliment any summer BBQ!
I used zucchini, squash and asparagus for this dish. But you could certainly substitute your favorites! I also used the pearl couscous. I find it hardier and able to hold the vinaigrette a little better. I rounded out this salad with creamy goat cheese. The combination of flavors and textures is simply divine! The perfect use of the grill if you ask me!
