Couscous Salad

in Power Salads

I love having boxed couscous on hand for quick impromptu meals. It is so versatile and I can throw any kind of leftover vegetable’s from the fridge. I also stock up on canned olives and chickpeas, so that I can add extra protein to all my dishes. Not necessary to add mint to this dish, but if you have it handy, I would highly recommend using it for a bold touch of freshness. Leftover mint, stores well in the fridge for days. Wash it and wrap it around a dry paper towel in a tight bag. This method works well for most herbs, give it a try and thank me later. 🙂

HEALTH BENEFITS:
Couscous is a great source of protein, promotes healthy blood sugar, and has rich minerals and vitamins.
