Juicy tropical fruits and whole-wheat couscous make a colourful side-dish salad. Add some grilled chicken or shrimp, cut into chunks, for a main-dish sensation.

Ingredients

Table salt

1 tsp(s), divided

Uncooked whole wheat couscous

1 cup(s)

Fresh lime juice

¼ cup(s)

Canola oil

2 tbsp(s)

Cumin seeds

½ tsp(s)

¼ cup(s), sliced, fresh, chopped

Water

1 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Bring 1 cup of water and 1/2 tsp of salt to a boil in a small saucepan; remove from heat. Add couscous; cover and let stand until water is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork; cool to room temperature.
  2. Meanwhile in a medium bowl, whisk lime juice, oil, cumin and remaining 1/2 tsp of salt together until blended. Add mango, pineapple, cilantro and onion; toss to mix.
