Colorful Couscous


What to do with beets? There are lots of delicious things to do with beets, but I thought I would use them to add some color to couscous.

1 cup grated or chopped beets
1 cup cherry tomatoes (honey tomatoes used here)
1 cup couscous
1 cup steamed asparagus (edamame, green peas or broccoli)
3 oz crumbled goat cheese
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped pecans (pine nuts or walnuts)

Cover couscous with 1 1/2 cup boiling water. Let sit until all water absorbed. Mix in the other ingredients. Enjoy as a salad or side dish.
