Ingredients

  • Tomatoes- 2 cups small.
  • Cucumber- 1 average sized.
  • Couscous- 1 cup dry.
  • Water- 1 cup
  • Olive Oil- 2 tablespoons divided.
  • Tofu- 12 ounces firm. The tofu should be cut up into bite sized pieces.
  • Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend, Greek Seasoning Blend, Salt, and/or Pepper.

Instructions

  • Clean or rinse the tomatoes and cucumbers as desired. Then slice them into bite sized pieces. Set the aside.
  • To cook the couscous (skip this step if you are using already cooked couscous). In a saucepan on medium heat, bring the water to a boil. When the water begins to boil add the couscous and salt and then stir once. Close the saucepan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let couscous steam for 5 minutes. Then open the cover and let it cool. You can use a fork to fluff the couscous.
  • In a skillet on low to medium heat, warm up a tablespoon of the oil. Once the oil is warm, you can add the tofu and toast it until golden brown.
  • To assemble the salad, simply combine together the cooled couscous, cooled tofu, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Then toss with the remaining oil and season as desired.
