Directions

Add the couscous and broth or water into a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer, and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.

Remove from the heat, and fluff with a fork. Set aside.

Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, add the bell peppers, marinated mushrooms, corn, black beans, cheddar cheese, cilantro and scallions. Mix well.

In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients until well blended.

Add the cooked couscous into the large mixing bowl along with the dressing.

Gently toss with a wooden spatula until evenly coated and well combined.

Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
