Lisa's Black Bean and Couscous Salad


So I just finished making the salad...I pretty much followed the recipe word for word (which is a rarity) except I used canned corn instead of frozen. I chopped about 6 green onions and it looked like it would overpower the salad, that I ended up only using a little more than half of what I chopped up. After reading Kathleen's post, I decided to only use 1 can of black beans also. I like black beans, but don't love. Good change, Kathleen! I was surprised with the amount of couscous...for some reason, I thought there would be more. But I am pleasantly surprised... It's a nice balance of grain and veggies. I think next time, I would add a bit more of the lime...I only bought two limes and I think I would add just one more to get more of a citrus taste to it.
Overall, good side dish. I never would have made this if not for BSC, so thank you! A great, healthy dish, especially for potlucks!
Total Cost of Meal: about $8
