Tomato Chickpea Pesto Couscous Salad
1/2 c whole wheat couscous
3/4 c boiling water
1 fresh tomato, chopped (I used 2-3 because mine were really small)
3/4 c chickpeas, (canned is convenient, dried are better -- I made a bunch yesterday!)
~2 Tbsp pesto (I used this leftover from this recipe)
Prepare couscous as described above, chop tomatoes while you wait, mix everything together, and enjoy!

COMMENTS: This was so good that I ate my bowl right up, probably too fast, and then proceeded to make a whole new bowl, and finish it too! That's how FAST AND YUMMY it is! What are your favorite quickest meals to make?
