Instructions

Bok Choy Couscous Salad

Pour the dried couscous grain into a baking dish.
Heat the broth in a large pot over high heat to a boil, and pour it over the couscous. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and set aside for 5 minutes. Uncover, and fluff the couscous with a fork, and cool to room temperature.
Cook the asparagus and slice up into 1 inch long pieces.
There are a few ways to cook the asparagus. Choose which method works best for you:
1) Air fry it.
2) Sauté for a few minutes in a little olive oil over medium heat until tender.
3) Simmer in the broth for a few minutes before the broth is poured over the couscous.
In a large bowl, combine the baby bok choy, mango, strawberries, asparagus, spring onion, mint ,and pine nuts.
Pour half of the Citrus Vinaigrette over greens along with the couscous, and gently and toss using a large metal spoon. Add more dressing to your preference.

Citrus Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette except the olive oil.
Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
