1/2 cup couscous
1 cup boiling water
3 whole red bell peppers
3 whole yellow bell peppers
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
1/3 cup scallion, chopped
1/2 cup zucchini, diced
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Fluff the couscous with a fork, then let it cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, slice the tops off the whole peppers.
  • Core, seed, wash and drain the peppers.
  • If necessary, slice a little off the bottoms of the peppers so they will sit on a plate without falling over.

  • In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil and dill and mix well.
  • Pour the dressing over the couscous mixture and toss to coat.
