Tilapia with Avocado and Couscous

 

 

So, this has got to be one of my all-time favorite light & healthy meals. I make it when girlfriends come over in the summer to grill out, or just when I want something different and delicious! This recipe is taken from one of my other favorite magazines - Women's Health!

 

Grab a nice glass of chardonnay, invite the girls over one Saturday afternoon, and enjoy!

3 1/2	tbsp olive oil

1/4	tbsp lemon juice
1	tsp sugar
3	tsp soy sauce
1/2	cup chopped scallions
1	tbsp chopped parsley
1	cup diced avocado ( don't cut pieces too small. I usually cut up about 2 small avocados - you can't put too much in!)

Directions
