No Limit "Pasta" Salad

[red-d-2-lose 10]

So in the summer I love pasta salad, in the past I would use whole wheat noodles and just plan carefully so I didnt mess up on my pasta/potato/rice rule. Well this morning I got to thinking hmmmm, wonder if I can make summer pasta salad with a different no limit grain, so I invented this recipe this morning and it is delicous and SiFi!

 

 

Sorry such a big picture

 

1 Cup Dry Whole Wheat Couscous, prepared as directed but put 2 chicken bullion cubes in water.

1 cucumber I made mine into ribbons

20 cherry tomatoes halved

1 cup shredded carrots

3 green onions diced

1/2 cup red onion diced

1/2 bottle fat free zesty italian dressing

2 tablespoons McCormick Salad Sensations Salad Seasoning.

 

Cut up all veggies while couscous is cooking/resting. Put in Large bowl, add couscous, dressing, seasoning and stir, let chill at least 1 hr before serving. I hope you guys like this as much as me!

Now you're thinkin'!

 

I'm positive that's why WWs did what they did (with their limits and food list): to get us to explore new avenues (and grains ).

 

Your salad is EXACTLY like something I would love (and make).

 

Thanks for sharing ~

It is sooooo yummy, it is even better then the old stuff I used to make. I think I will be making this all summer long!

Cold grain salads are supposed to be really good for you, too.

 

The cold grain gets processed differently by the body than warm grains ~

 

(I call whole wheat couscous "fast food". Can you believe that it's done in only a few minutes?! A-mazing stuff.)

I absolutely LOVE WW Couscous. It's so good and so fast!

Wow, I'm going to make that and bring to our weekly family dinners, as an alternative to macaroni salad!
