Green Couscous Salad

Green Couscous Salad by BipolarLawyerCook.
Israeli couscous, cooked 15 min. in olive oil and double the amount of water. Put chopped asparagus on top the last 7 mins., uncovering halfway to make sure water is absorbed. Pour hot couscous and asparagus into a bowl, add chopped raw scallions and one julienned zucchini. Stir. Dress while warm with a fresh herb pesto made of olive oil, 1 branch rosemary, and generous amounts of parsley and basil, the zest of one lemon, and the juice of 1 1/2 lemons. When cooled, stir in chunks of goat cheese or feta.

How does this rate on the low carb scale?

Well, it's just regular israeli couscous, so it's not really low carb at all-- but I made it with only a cup of dried couscous to a pound of chopped asparagus and all the other veggies, so the per serving ratio probably isn't that bad. It'd probably be lower carb if I'd used whole wheat couscous or cracked wheat instead.
