Tasty Tuesday: Pineapple Couscous Salad

I have been loving couscous lately.  It's so easy to whip up, and there are so many yummy combinations to use it in for a salad.  Here's a really yummy recipe we've been enjoying for lunches lately.

Pineapple Couscous Salad

3/4 cup chicken broth
1 cup uncooked couscous
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
3 green onions, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon minced fresh mint

1 garlic clove, minced

4 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Stir in couscous. Cover and remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. In a large bowl, combine the couscous, pineapple, chilies, pecans, onions, oil, mint and garlic; toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over spinach.
