South Beach Diet RecipesSouth Beach Diet Recipes for Phase Two of the South Beach Diet introduce low glycemic index carbs into the diet, like couscous, oatmeal and whole wheat bread. This Chicken with Couscous recipe is quick and easy to make. Serve with one of the salads below. Chicken with Couscous (serves two) 2 chicken breasts 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil Juice of ½ lime ½ cup couscous 3/4 cup water ½ teaspoon turmeric ½ teaspoon cumin ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic Cut the chicken into strips and marinate in the lime juice for 5-10 minutes. Fry the garlic clove, the onion and the chicken in the olive oil until done. Add the spices, the salt, and the water. Allow the water to come to a boil, then add the couscous. Remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite South Beach Diet recipe salad, or choose from the ones below: Strawberry Salad (serves two) 1 cup fresh, washed spinach leaves 3 large strawberries, sliced 1/3 cup low fat vinaigrette 1 teaspoon agave nectar 2 tablespoons red onion ½ cup chopped celery Arrange the spinach, celery and strawberries in a salad bowl. Choose a vinaigrette that is low in fat and low in sugar. If you want to mix your own, use good quality ingredients like extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. The general rule of thumb is 1 part vinegar to four parts oil. You can vary the percentage of oil to suit your taste. Mix the agave nectar into the vinaigrette (substitute honey for agave nectar if you like) and drizzle over the salad. Mango Salsa (serves 2) 1 mango, diced ½ cucumber diced ¼ cup red onion, diced ½ lime Mix the mango, cucumber and red onion together and squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture. This salsa is also great on tilapia spiced with a Cajun rub and fried in a little olive oil. For ideas in creating your own South Beach Diet recipes, use whole grains, small quantities of olive oil or canola oil, and small portions of lean meat or fish with moderate servings of fresh fruits and vegetables.
