Couscous Greek Salad

I am always looking for easy, make ahead meals. Something I can grab on the go, either to pack in my work lunch or to grab while I’m at home. This salad ticks all the boxes. It keeps you full, it has tons of flavour and it is so easy to put together.

Pearl couscous tossed with feta, chickpeas and all the Greek salad vegetables. Add dill for an extra freshness and a light vinaigrette. The perfect lunch time salad that is worth gossiping about!
