Greek Couscous salad:

Let me preface this by saying that I had two recipes I was kind of following and then throwing in some of my own ingredients along the way. Overall, I am quite pleased with how it turned out, but next time there are a few things I would do a bit differently. 

  Ingredients:
one box of couscous (I like the Near East brand)
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. Tabasco
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
One can chickpeas, drained
1 tbsp. olive oil 
diced tomatoes
kalamata olives and reserve juice to add some in
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
4-5 stalks of chopped green onions


Prepare your box of couscous and add everything together. As simple as that. I added a little juice from the olive can to give it a little bit of extra flavor.  Next time I plan on adding some diced red pepper and some cilantro. I had parsley on hand but my hubby doesn't care for it.
