Scale
  • 3 cups pearl couscous, cooked
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (reg. or dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1 cup small canned artichoke hearts, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumbers, halved and quartered
  • garnish: fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup Greek Dressing, more as needed

  3. Taste and add additional dressing, salt or pepper as desired.

Notes

  • Ingredient Measurements: the measurements provided are a great starting point, but feel free to adjust and more or less of anything you want to make it your own! 
  • Dressing: as the couscous sits with the dressing on top, it will soak some of it up. So if the salad sits for a bit or is stored overnight then definitely add a splash or two of dressing to revive. Feel free to use store-bought or our Homemade Greek Dressing! 
  • Dairy-Free: to make this dairy-free use a dairy-free feta cheese. 
  • Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
