ROSEMARY CHICKEN COUSCOUS SALAD
This is a wonderful summer salad. Fresh herbs keep the salad light, while the chicken and feta cheese make it hearty enough to serve for a main meal. Use as a side dish by omitting the chicken and adding chopped artichoke hearts. The salad also works wonderfully with grilled salmon or chicken.

CHICKEN, CORN, AND COUSCOUS SALAD
I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's magazine; originally it did not include the chicken but I wanted to add something so it could be a meal by itself. If you'd rather not have the chicken just use another 1/4 cup couscous and another 1 cup corn instead. This makes just enough for me to have it for dinner and next day's lunch; as a side dish I'm guessing it would be enough for three or four.

- Remove from heat, add couscous, and let sit covered for about 5 minutes.
- Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken until just done; the time will depend on how big your chicken pieces are.
