Whole Wheat Couscous

Ingredients:

1 cup whole-wheat couscous

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 organic nectarines, diced

1 bunch watercress, stems removed and leaves sliced (about 1 1/2 cups packed leaves)

1/2 cup pistachios, chopped

1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot


Instructions:
1. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk in olive oil in a thin steady stream until dressing thickens.

3. Add couscous, nectarines, watercress, pistachios and shallots to bowl and toss to combine. Serve warm or chilled.
