Easy Couscous Salad

couscous

boiling water / chicken stock

cherry tomatoes

English cucumber

red onion

radishes

feta cheese (cubed)

400 g (14 ounces) chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

herbs (basil, parsley, chopped chives)

olive oil

lemon juice

garlic (minced)

salt

½ tsp black pepper

Add the couscous to a large metal or glass bowl then pour over the boiling water (you can use chicken stock too if you want more flavor) and season with a pinch of salt.

Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and allow to soak for 10 minutes then fluff with a fork.

Finely dice the vegetables. I don&#39;t like keeping the veggies too chunky for this salad so I quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion and cucumber.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water then allow to drain for a few minutes before adding to the salad.

Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.

Add all the vegetables and herbs to the couscous along with the feta cheese.

Toss to combine with the dressing and serve.

I made this for myself.  The day I made it I wasn’t sure if I liked it but the day after it was outstanding!

Absolutely delicious and super easy!!
Served alongside a main dish or eaten alone, both ways are awesome.
