Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil; stir in the couscous. Remove from the heat; cover and set aside until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, yellow squash and bell pepper; cook, stirring as needed, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the couscous to a large serving bowl; fluff with a fork. Add the vegetables, chickpeas, lemon juice and black pepper; toss with a fork. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled, at least 2 hours.
Line each of 8 salad plates with 3 lettuce leaves; top with the couscous mixture and serve, sprinkled with the parsley.
