Couscous and Cucumber Salad With Buttermilk- Dill Dressing
By: GaylaJ

I find both cucumbers and fresh dill to be especially refreshing when it's hot outside, so I think this light-tasting dish makes a great side during the heat of summer. Adapted from Cooking Light.
SERVES 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup uncooked couscous (I used whole wheat)
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
- 2 cucumbers, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and sliced (about 3/4 pound)
Directions
1
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and gradually stir in couscous.2
Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes; fluff with a fork, cool.3
Combine buttermilk, and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk.4
Add couscous, bell pepper, onions, and cucumbers; toss gently.

Pleasantly light and cool, but nothing to write home about. I agree with NovaM that it needs more salt and more something else. It's a bit bland as is, and I'm unlikely to make it again.

This was easy to make and VERY light & refreshing salad. We'll be making it again this coming weekend!

A very easy and tasty salad to put together - I did need to add a little more salt, though. I think if I was to make this again, I might add some feta for a bit of extra flavour.
