Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad

After a long day of running errands and being generally awesome, I decided that a light dinner was in order… mostly because I was tired and didn’t feel like doing anything ultra fancy.

Confluent Boyfriend and I took a trip to the grocery store where I proceeded to buy what can only be described as a butt ton of vegetables… I was going to do a ratatouille, but when I finally ambled into the kitchen, I gravitated toward the goat cheese.. which is very UN-ratatouille like.

Tons of crisp, tasty veg

1 cup cous cous
1 and 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 medium cucumber, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
10-12 mushrooms, diced
10-12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
2 oz goat cheese, crumbled

1. Pour water and 1 tbsp olive oil into a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil
2. Once at a boil, add cous cous, remove from heat, and cover
3. Add remaining olive oil, garlic, oregano and vinegar to a bowl. Whisk thoroughly.
4. Once cous cous has soaked for approximately 10 minutes, fluff
5. Add vegetables, dressing and cheese

The final product.
