As for the question about oil, strictly speaking, I apply it to all oils--no oil at all on those days. I think it is one of those elusive things where you\'ll never get the same answer twice, though.
Our new favorite lenten salad (for oil days):
1 and1/4 water
1c raisins
14 oz can chickpeas
1/4c fresh parsley chopped
3 green onions chopped
1 lg tomato chopped
1 c diced zucchini
1 red bell pepper
6 Tbsp oil
2-3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 sm garlic clove, minced
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp sugar
~Boil water, add couscous and raisins, cover and remove from heat immediately. Set aside.
~In lg bowl combine all vegetables then add couscous mixture.
~In sm bowl whisk together the rest of the ingredients then pour over couscous mixture.
~Enjoy!
