Curried Couscous Salad with Bacon

"Finally, a couscous salad that is not bland! This salad is a great addition to your summer meal, or as a lunch any time of year."

Ingredients :

4 slices bacon
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup uncooked couscous
3/4 cup diced carrot
3/4 cup diced cucumber
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons curry powder
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions :

Prep : 25M	Cook : 8M	Ready in : 50M

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, crumble the bacon slices, and set aside.
Drain all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from the skillet, and cook and stir the onion in the skillet until the edges of the onion begin to turn brown. Set the onion aside.
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, and sprinkle in the couscous. Remove the pan from the heat, let stand for 5 minutes to absorb the water, then fluff the couscous with a fork. Allow couscous to cool.
Place the onion, cooled couscous, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and garbanzos into a salad bowl, and stir lightly to combine.
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, curry powder, and salt and pepper until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the dressing over the salad, mix again lightly, and sprinkle with bacon bits.

Notes :

You can use whatever vegetables you have in the fridge. If you are short on time, you can skip the bacon and onions (although everything is better with bacon) and use green onions instead.
