Directions

Place couscous, cumin, and salt in a large heatproof bowl or storage container and pour 1 cup boiling water on top.

Cover tightly and let sit until all the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.

If the couscous is not quite tender, add an additional ¼ cup of boiling water, cover, and let sit for a few minutes longer.

Fluff up with a fork.

Toss in the beans, corn, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno.

Mix in the olive oil and enough lime juice to give the salad a puckery edge.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
