Tomato-Basil Couscous Salad

(I still don't have a camera, so this was taken with Addison's Fisher Price camera - not great quality, but a great kid camera. It is totally indestructible!)

At Steph W's request...

I love this recipe. It is so easy and yummy. It's from the South Beach Diet Book.

3/4 cup cooked couscous
1 tomato chopped
1/3 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 scallions, chopped
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Lettuce (I usually use chopped red leaf, but I only had a bag of spring mix when I made this.)

Combine the couscous, tomato, chickpeas, scallions, oil, lemon juice, and basil in a bowl.
Toss, and serve on a bed of lettuce.

Thank you! I'm going to try this over the weekend. I'll report back.

Tell Addison thanks for the picture. I'm a huge fan of indestructibile things (especially cameras since I broke one of Mark's fancy camera lenses this week - oops :)
