Prep Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Couscous
  • 1 Cup Boiling Water
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, Roasted and Diced
  • 1/2 Cup Blueberries
  • 1 Cup Fat Free Feta Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Parsley
  • 2 Tbl Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the Couscous:
    Place the couscous in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the couscous, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork.
  • Roast the Red Bell Pepper:
    Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the red bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl, covering with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and dice the pepper.
  • In the bowl with the couscous, add the diced roasted red bell pepper, blueberries, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the couscous mixture. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • This makes 4 servings. On WW, each serving is 6 WW Points. Enjoy!
