Chicken Couscous Salad
February 21, 2012
If you’re looking for a light, healthy and delicious salad, this Chicken Couscous Salad is the answer. Start with a rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken and combine with cooked couscous, cherry tomatoes, basil and either sherry or balsamic vinegar. Top it off with goat cheese or even feta, and you have a super wholesome main dish salad. I loved serving this over arugula leaves, but my kids just ate it straight out of this bowl. This makes a great lunch recipe or easy dinnertime entree.
Chicken Couscous Salad

11/2 cups halved grape tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup sherry or balsamic vinegar

Arugula or your mixed lettuces
4 ounces crumbled goat or feta cheese
