For Jamie: Couscous Salad with Grapes

[Guest guest]

Hi, Jamie

 

My husband and I are " veggie-cyclists " (we only run in the winter).

Here's a quick salad that only takes 5 minutes of cooking. It has

15g of protein per serving.

 

PatH posted a recipe just this last Monday for a Lentil Salad. I

tried it right away. It was easy to make and very filling, besides

tasting good.

This sounds really good! I make a similar salad with oranges instead of

grapes, and no zucchini.

 

For more protein, you could make this with quinoa instead of couscous.
