This refreshing couscous salad is a perfect blend of fluffy couscous, fresh vegetables, and a hint of zesty lemon. It's a quick and easy dish that makes for a delightful side or a light meal on its own.
- For a fluffier couscous, make sure to let it steam in the chicken gravy covered for at least 5 minutes.
- Add the olive oil gradually while fluffing the couscous with a fork to prevent it from clumping together.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Feel free to add in other fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, adding a chopped jalapeño or a pinch of chili flakes can elevate the dish.
With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, this couscous salad is not only a feast for the eyes but also for the palate. It's a versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of the year. Enjoy your delicious, healthy couscous salad!
