Servings: persons

1 lime, zested and juiced
Extra-virgin olive oil, to taste
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe avocado
3/4 cup vegetable broth
2/3 cup whole-wheat couscous
1 cucumber, seeded, peeled and diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 pound Christmas lima beans, cooked and drained OR 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed

1
In a medium bowl, combine the lime zest and juice. Whisk in olive oil, tasting as you go, until you get a dressing that you like. (We like ours on the very tangy side, but just keep tasting as you drizzle.) Add salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dice the avocado, and toss it in the dressing. Set aside.
2
Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat, and then stir in the couscous. Remove from heat, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3
In a large bowl, combine the avocado and dressing, cucumber, red pepper, and beans. Toss gently to combine. Add the couscous, and toss to evenly coat everything with the dressing. Serve.
