Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup whole wheat couscous

  • ¼ cup homemade vinaigrette

  • In a medium-sized skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add asparagus. Cook and stir about 4 minutes or until tender-crisp.
