Filet Mignon with Couscous Salad

I love the ease and savings of cooking with my food storage,  I also love a great filet on the grill and fresh veggies in the summer!  I picked up a few filets from Earth Fare and headed home for a nice evening outside.  Below is my recipe for an awesome summer side dish, Couscous Salad.  This recipe makes a large amount and is a great leftover.

Veggies are prepped and ready!

After cooking the couscous I fluff it in a bowl then stick it 
in the freezer for a few minutes to cool off.

After the couscous is cooled I drizzle the olive oil and lime
and mix in the veggies and cheese.

There is nothing better than a thick filet with salt pepper and garlic!


So delicious!


Recipe adapted from Paula Deen
Ingredients:
1 Package of Near East Parmesan Couscous
2 Cups Diced Tomatoes
2 Cups Peeled & Diced English Cucumber
1/3 Cup Finely Chopped Red Onion
1/2 Cup Feta Cheese (or more if you are a cheese lover)
1 Tbs Olive Oil mixed with 1/2 Tbs Lime Juice

Cook couscous according to the package.  Once couscous is cooked, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl.  Place bowl in the freezer to cool.  Meanwhile prep other ingredients.  Once couscous is cool, mix in the remaining ingredients and enjoy.
