Black Bean Couscous

This is SO easy and so delicious. Plus I made it up myself. I like to eat this cold, but it would be good warm too -- especially with some cilantro-lime fish or shrimp.

Black Bean Couscous
2/3 cup whole wheat instant couscous
1 cup veggie stock
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 tsp. cumin
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar

Bring the veggie stock to a boil. Add couscous and garlic, remove from heat, cover and set aside for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, chop onion. Then whisk together oil, cumin, and vinegar. Toss onion, black beans, and corn in oil mixture.

When couscous is cooked, stir in veggies. Add salt to taste! If you add the corn while frozen, it cools the whole thing off very quickly.
