Just because it's blistering cold outside doesn't mean you can't inject a little dose of sunshine at the dinner table. This hearty salad holds its own, and sports a spirited, zippy vinaigrette that you'll want to make again and again.
Ingredients:
1 cup couscous |
1 can corn, drained |
Method:
Cook couscous according to package directions. Fluff with a fork, and add to a large salad bowl. Rinse beans, and add to the bowl, followed by mango, red onion, bell pepper, carrot, cilantro, dill, corn and avocado.
Make the dressing. In a small mason jar, combine balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, along with a pinch of paprika, sugar, salt and pepper. Seal tightly with a lid, and shake vigerously to emulsify.
Add dressing to salad, toss well to combine, and serve immediately. Keeps covered in the regrigerator for up to five days.
