Cous Cous, bean and corn salad


This is very fast and easy...a great last minute, low-fat Vegetarian lunch idea. This serves 2 for lunch, or 4 as a side to accompany a main meal.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cous cous (I used cous cous in a box which you just add boiled water to and let set for 5mins)
  • 400g tin of kidney beans or chick peas
  • 400g tin corn kernels
  • 2-3 tablespoons salsa
  • 6-8 sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup black sliced pitted olives
  • 1/2 red or green capsicum
Optional:
  • 1 tsp basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
  • Salt, pepper and chilli flakes to taste

Method:
  1. Cook the cous cous as per instructions
  2. When cous cous has cooled to your liking, to a bowl add all ingredients and stir
  3. Serve either warm or cold...D-E-L-icious  XD
