10 Minute Mediterranean Salad (HCLF Vegan)

Serves: 1-2 | Time: 10 minutes

1 cup Israeli Couscous
1.25 cups Veggie Broth
1 tbs chopped Basil
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Cumin

3 cups chopped Kale Salad Mix*
1 cup precooked Blackeyed Peas
1 cup frozen Peas & Carrots
1 tbs natural Peanut Butter**
1 tbs fresh Lemon Juice
1-2 tbs filtered Water
1 tsp Red Curry Paste

* I buy this from Costco. Trader Joe's also sells an identical product called Cruciferous Crunch Collection
** Make sure the only ingredient is peanuts

In a small to medium-sized pot, add your veggie broth and spices. Cover and set on high heat to boil. Meanwhile, chop your basil. When the water is boiling, add your couscous and basil. Stir and turn heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 8-10 minutes (until water is absorbed).
Meanwhile, in a medium pot or large saucepan add the frozen peas and carrots (can be thawed/defrosted first, but you will need to add a little more water if you do this). Cook, covered, for 5-8 minutes on medium.
Meanwhile, grab a small bowl and whisk together the peanut butter, lemon juice, red curry paste and water. Stir this sauce into the vegetable mix. Add your beans in the last few minutes of cooking.
In a large serving bowl, spoon the spiced couscous and top with the veggie mixture. Enjoy :)
