DH and I are starting phase 2 on Monday. The following recipe is a favourite to bring for lunch to work so I was planning to make a batch on Sunday night - the couscous in it will be my grain that I'm reintroducing. Just wanted to make sure it's P2-legal!

Couscous Salad with Chickpeas & Tomatoes (from Cooking Light)

6 tablespoons organic vegetable broth
6 tablespoons water
3/4 cup uncooked couscous (I use whole wheat instead of regular)
3/4 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained (I use the whole can - comes to about 1 cup)
1/3 cup chopped seeded plum tomato
6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper

Bring vegetable broth and 6 tablespoons water to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Combine cooked couscous and remaining ingredients in a large bowl.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup)
