Get Hungry: Pesto Cous Cous Salad

Why recipes? Every time you make an informed decision at the check-out stand, you send a message to the food industry. You might not have a seat on Capitol Hill, but you can vote with your fork three times a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This recipe was originally posted by Kimberly Morales on Poor Girl Eats Well, a blog devoted to eating "ridiculously well on a minuscule budget." Because voting with your fork shouldn't have to cost a fortune!


It's not too often that a lazy man's quick meal is also packed with good-for-you nutrients. But cous cous is. And that's why we love it.

Poor Girl's Pesto Cous Cous Salad elevates an everyday grain to a tasty, flavor-packed meal. With a few fresh veggies and a dab of pesto paste (bonus points if you make your own!) this recipe gives you every reason you need to skip the microwaved meal.
