Couscous Salad Recipe

 
One of my favorite side dishes is couscous. Mostly because it takes 5 minutes to prepare and goes with just about anything. I often make up different salad recipes with it and thought I'd share one that's a big hit with my family and friends. Please take liberty with the ingredients as they're meant as a guide really and not an exact science. But trust me, it's very delish!

Couscous Salad

1c whole wheat couscous
1/2c dried cranberries
1/4 to 1/2c feta cheese
1/4c chopped red onion
1/4 to 1/2c chopped toasted almonds
2 tbs chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/2c light greek salad dressing
salt & pepper to taste 

Cook couscous according to package instructions. Toss with remaining ingredients and let chill 2 or more hours. You may want to add a bit more dressing after it chills. Enjoy and Bon Appetit!
