Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of any couscous (I prefer whole wheat like this)

• 1 chopped bell pepper

• 1 handful of chopped red onion

• 2 handfuls of chopped cherry tomatoes

• Small handful of chopped basil

• Small handful of chopped parsley

• Handful of sliced or slivered almonds

• Optional sliced greek/kalamata olives

• s&p to taste

• optional hummus on the side or drizzle of olive oil for serving

Instructions:

Cook the couscous following box instructions. While it cooks, chop your veggies and herbs. Set couscous aside to cool or pop in the fridge for a few minutes. Add all remaining ingredients to couscous gently tossing until everything is mixed in, adding s&p until desired taste.

I like serving with a dollop of garlic hummus and additional sprinkle of basil.
