Comment préparer Couscous Chickpea Salad With Ginger Lime Dressing

Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
While water heats, peel and seed 1 medium cucumber, then dice it.
Add 1 cup couscous, 1/4 cup raisins (or dried cranberries), and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional) to the boiling water. Stir, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, and 1/4 cup red onion.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and gently stir in the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves.
Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas. Add them to the couscous mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Add the couscous mixture to the dressing and toss gently to coat.
