Ingredients

1 cup water
2 tablespoons water
1 cup uncooked whole wheat couscous
½ (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
½ cup thinly sliced green onions

Dressing:

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups chopped nectarine

Directions

Bring 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous gradually until evenly moistened. Remove from heat; fluff with a fork.
Pour couscous into a salad bowl. Let cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Fold in chickpeas, red bell pepper, and green onions.
Whisk lime juice, honey, olive oil, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl to make dressing. Drizzle dressing over couscous mixture; stir gently until blended. Arrange nectarine over salad.

Cook's Note:

If making ahead, reserve 1/2 of the dressing to add before serving.
