Ingredients:
  • 3 Pouches (2.6 oz. each) StarKist Tuna Creations® Herb & Garlic
  • 1 cup uncooked whole-wheat couscous
  • 18 tsp. each salt and black pepper
  • 2 cups asparagus cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 34 cup frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp. light Italian dressing
  • 1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
  • Cook couscous according to package directions, using water only. Transfer to a large bowl or serving platter, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring a large skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to medium heat. Add asparagus and 2 tbsp. water. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, or until partially softened.
  • Uncover skillet and raise the heat to medium-high. Add corn and cook, stirring until slightly blackened, about 3 more minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and cook until the veggies have softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the veggies to a medium-large bowl. Add tuna and dressing and mix well.
  • Spoon the mixture over the couscous and sprinkle with parmesan cheese – or toss it all together if you’d like!
