Recipe of the week

Avocado and Red Pepper Israeli Couscous

1 3/4 cup water

1 tbsp olive oil

1 1/3 cup Israeli couscous

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup diced red pepper

2 tbsp lime juice

Combine the water and olive oil in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 12 minutes or so, until the water is fully absorbed.

Add the avocado, red pepper, and lime juice. Stir to combine. Serve immediately.

This is a GREAT summer side dish. It yields 4 servings, so cover the leftovers tightly!
