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.

- Prepare the couscous mix according to package instructions making sure to add in the seasoning mix. If you don't use couscous from a package, you'll want to add a few teaspoons of your favorite seasonings (salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, etc.) to taste.
- While the couscous is cooking, prep the rest of the salad: drain the chickpeas (roast if desired; see last paragraph in blogpost), coarsely chop the salami, cut the mozzarella into small bite-sized pieces, slice the pepper into strips and then cut those strips in half or thirds, slice or halve the olives, and slice or halve the cherry tomatoes. Chiffonade the basil (stack basil leaves, roll them tightly, and then slice the leaves perpendicular to the roll.)
- Place Dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Add salt and pepper to taste (I like to add about 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, but add to personal preference).
- TO SERVE AS A SALAD: Add the prepared couscous to a large bowl and allow to cool. Add in all of the veggies, salami, basil, and chickpeas. Add some freshly squeezed lemon, salt and pepper to taste, and the dressing. Only dress what you will enjoy as this salad doesn't sit well for a long time with the dressing on it.
