Black Bean, Cous cous salad.

Okay, I'll bite. I have nothing too creative as I thrive on convenience. So, this recipe is kind of special in its own way - it is easy to make mostly fool proof, and more importantly it takes all of 10 minutes to make.

1 onion (finely chopped)
1 green bell pepper (cut into 1 cubic cm pieces)
2 Roma tomatoes (1 cubic cm pieces again)
1/2 cup sliced mushroom
1 celery heart (finely cut)
1 15 oz can black beans
2 cups plain couscous
1/4th tbsp olive oil
2 cups water
salt to taste
cilantro leaves for garnish

Heat olive oil in a pan add onion and mushrooms and cook till onions turn transparent. Add cous cous to pain and 2 cups of water. Add salt to taste. Cook couscous till it is fully done and fluff out with a fork. Cool and mix in with other ingredients. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve. You can also cook the couscous in broth for flavor or add olives.
