Today we went to our birthing again class in preparation for the new kid. It was an absolutely fabulous class run by a doula named Sarah. She is a great teacher and we had a fun time and walked away feeling re-energized and empowered for the upcoming momentous event. If you are having a kid, you absolutely must check out her website here, and take a class or hire her to doula for you.
The class was an all day affair so we each brought a potluck dish. The four other couples in the class were funny, intelligent, caring, kindred-soul types who all brought yummy food so we ended up with a fabulous gourmet lunch. I got a few compliments on my Mediterranean couscous salad that I brought, so here it is for your enjoyment.
Ingredients
1 box couscous
1 cube vegetable bullion
1 tablespoon oregano
fresh ground pepper to taste
1 cucumber, peeled
1/2 red onion, diced
hunk o' feta, diced
bunch kalamata olives
2 tomatoes
fist of cilantro, chopped fine
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Prepare couscous according to instructions on label but add the veggie bullion to the hot couscous water for extra flavour. When couscous is done, fluff with a fork and add pepper and oregano. Let cool. Combine cuke, tomatoes, onion, feta, olives, and cilantro. Add couscous and mix. Whisk together remaining ingredients for dressing and toss until everything is combined. Happy birthing!
