Hi friends, it’s Amy from A Cup Full of Sass back to share another recipe with you. This healthy Black Bean and Couscous Salad is the perfect summer recipe. I use whole wheat Couscous with organic black beans and organic corn to make it super healthy. This recipe would also be great on a whole wheat tortilla shell. It’s both filling and delicious. Not to mention it’s super easy and fast to make.

Couscous takes only five minutes to prepare and works well as a side dish in place of rice, pasta or potatoes. Or make it into a salad like I did in this recipe.

I love using fresh garden vegetables in my recipes. If you have a garden, use your cherry tomatoes and spinach from it. They are the best!

You could also serve this as a side dish with grilled lime chicken or fish to have a healthy delicious meal. Can you say yum?!
