Thankful {things I love} Thursday...

To help deal with the hot, humid weather we've been experiencing this Summer,

we've kept our meals light.  Curried couscous salad , hummus on crisp bread with fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumber is quick and easy to prepare, delicious and good for you ♥

It's so versatile that you can throw in anything you like.

It makes a wonderful lunch, and for more of a  dinner I add a cup of chickpeas and hard boiled egg.

 1 cup of whole wheat couscous (cook according to package directions)

1/4 small head red cabbage, julienned

1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves

handful of dried cranberries (or raisins)

handful of cashews

*Fluff couscous with a fork.  Add cabbage, spinach, cranberries and cashews and toss.

Dressing

1 1/2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

juice of 1 lemon

1/2 TBSP curry powder

salt & pepper to taste

*Mix and pour dressing over salad.  Toss and serve warm.

Serves 2 dinner or 4 lunch.

The greatest delight

the fields and woods minister

is the suggestion of an occult relation

between man  and the vegetable.

I am not alone

and unacknowledged.

They nod to me

and I

to them.
