Tropical Couscous Salad

Weight Watchers Recipe

Juicy tropical fruits and whole-wheat couscous make a super side dish.  Add
bite-size pieces of grilled chicken or shrimp for a main-dish sensation.

Ingredients

1 cup(s) water   
1 tsp table salt, divided   
1 cup(s) uncooked whole wheat couscous   
1/4 cup(s) fresh lime juice   
4 Tbsp canola oil   
1/4 tsp Durkee ground cumin, or other brand   
1 1/4 cup(s) mango(es), fresh, cubed   
1 cup(s) pineapple, Golden-variety, chopped   
1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped   
1/4 cup(s) (sliced) uncooked red onion(s), fresh, chopped   

Instructions

Bring water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a boil in a  small  saucepan;  remove
from heat.  Stir in 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.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl,  whisk  together  lime  juice,  oil,  cumin  and
remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt until blended.  Add mango, pineapple, cilantro
and onion; toss to mix.

Add couscous to fruit mixture; toss to mix and coat.   Serve  immediately  or
cover  and  refrigerate  up  to  1  day.   Yields about a heaping 3/4 cup per
serving.
