Couscous Salad

(24)
"Have you ever tried couscous? I absolutely love it, and I’ve been eating this couscous salad for the past 3 days now 🤤 If you’re looking for another way to level up your salads and making it more filling; this is for you! I cooked the couscous according to the package. Once cooked I put it in a large bowl and added 1 can of chickpea (drained and rinsed), cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, chopped up some cucumbers, yellow bell peppers, and then I garnished it with dried parsley. I was totally bummed that I was out of fresh parsley because that flavor would have paired nicely! This salad was still very delicious, I didn’t even use dressing. Just a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt. I made so much of it I’ve been eating it for 3 days now, and finally finished it all today. On day 2 and 3 I ate it with some dressing I purchased from Trader Joe’s called Spicy Cashew Butter Dressing 🔥👌🏾👌🏾"
