I used calorie king to figure out how many calories were in this dish – it makes two servings, so each generous serving is about 417 calories, 15.2 fat, 21 protein, 49 carbs and 4.5 fiber.
The dressing that I stole borrowed was from Heidi at www.101cookbooks.com, although I did leave out the sugar and I used chopped pickled jalapenos in the dressing, and I cut the amount of olive oil to 1 ounce for the whole recipe.
I didn’t “dress” the salad until just before lunch, so all the vegetables are still bright and crisp.
another keeper!
Since Hannah cleaned out my fridge I used all the ingredients I already had on hand to put this together – thanks again Hanners! She’s actually spending the day at my mom’s before work to help her with her garden – she’ll be tired tonight!
I am going to keep this recipe in mind when I start getting my CSA basket in July and may need to use up a lot of veggies – I can’t wait until I get my first veggie box – not until July 11 though!
I did not get to work out at lunch again today – why does work have to get in the way??!!
When I went shopping with my Mom on Sunday, I ended up spending $55.00 of my $125 weekly budget. I am not counting my imprompu grocery shop on Sunday night for when my Mom and Joe stayed over – last night I spent $13.20. I expect to pay about $8 for our steak tonight, otherwise I have everything else, which leaves me $48.80 for three more dinners.
I think my mom doesn’t believe me when I tell her I pretty routinely stick to under $125 a week because she said to me Sunday: “I’ll tell you one thing my dear, you all sure eat well!”
Back to the grind, come on back tonight for Maryland Crabcakes and Steak with Bernaise Butter.
That’s one spiffy salad, if I do say so myself. I’m loving all that color!
Crabcakes and steak? I’m TOTALLY here
that salad sounds great! I love being able to just throw stuff in a bowl and have it taste amazing
You know I sincerely thank you for stopping by my blog, because if you hadn’t I would never find this gold mine of yummy recipes. The couscous salad looks beyond yumminess!
ohmygoodness! that looks so unbelievably amazing – my stomach is totally growling right now….
What a beautiful and healthy salad! The dressing does look fantastic!
that sounds delicious beyond words! I love the Israeli couscous…making note of this dish- perfect summer lunch!
Another great one Biz!!! When are you doing a guest for dinner for me?
Whenever you want! E-mail me and let me know what to do – bdl319@gmail.com.
I met your co-worker Heidi today – happy last day of school!
That dressing sounds really good! I need to try Isreali couscous. It looks so plump!
Mmmm this looks so good!
Thumbs up to the dressing. Sounds like it’d be a great marinade for grilled shrimp too.
Wow it is amazing to stick to that budget! It’s that great market you have with all the sales.
