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.
