Ingredients
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 green zucchini, quartered lengthwise
- 2 yellow zucchini, quartered lengthwise
- 6 spears asparagus, trimmed
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper, quartered and seeded
- 1 yellow bell pepper, quartered and seeded
- 1/4 cup basil chiffonade (stack leaves, roll in a cigar shape and cut crosswise into thin strips)
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Israeli couscous
- Vegetable stock, heated
- Hot water, to cover
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and garlic, slowly add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 the marinade over the vegetables and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat the grill. Remove the vegetables from the marinade and grill the vegetables until just cooked through. Cut the zucchini and peppers into 1/2-inch pieces, cut the tomatoes in half. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the couscous and toast until lightly golden brown. Cover the couscous with the hot stock and hot water and bring to a boil, cook until al dente and drain well. Place in a large serving bowl, add the grilled vegetables and herbs and toss with the remaining vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature.

great recipe. Used a broiler since i do not have a grill for the veggies. Didnt use mustard bc I dont like it. Portion is large; great for a party. I added kalamata olives. Easy to make.

Super easy and delicious. I made it as a side dish for a casual summer dinner with friends, and it was a hit! Perfect for outdoor dining; no worries about it spoiling. One thing to keep in mind is that this recipe makes a very large amount so you may want to invite some friends over to share. Leftovers taste great too.

Good, easy and fast, it was ready to eat in 10 minutes. Next time I'll borrow Dorothy's suggestion and some red onions as they grill up nice.
