| Ingredients: |
2 cups vegetable broth
1 box couscous - (10 oz)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion
3 garlic cloves
1 medium zucchini

- In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil; stir in the couscous. Remove from the heat; cover and set aside until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, yellow squash and bell pepper; cook, stirring as needed, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the couscous to a large serving bowl; fluff with a fork. Add the vegetables, chickpeas, lemon juice and black pepper; toss with a fork. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled, at least 2 hours.
- Line each of 8 salad plates with 3 lettuce leaves; top with the couscous mixture and serve, sprinkled with the parsley.
- This recipe yields 8 servings.
