ZESTY GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD
This recipe is a modification from the winner of a couscous contest put on by Near East. We left out the green onions. We also used grape tomatoes instead of regular to add flavor. Very good!

I created this recipe myself from ingredients that I usually always have in my pantry. I tend to lean toward greek style dishes that contain tasty combinations of ingredients that are healthy & somewhat lower fat.

GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD STUFFED AVOCADOS
I make this recipe on repeat not only because it's delicious, but because it's so convenient for meal prepping for the week. I like to make the couscous salad and the vinaigrette the beginning of the week and refrigerate them in separate airtight containers. Then when I'm ready for lunch or a snack, I'll dress the amount of salad I want and serve it over an avocado for a quick, delicious and filling meal. It's also perfect to have on hand when my friends visit because it takes no time at all to put together and the presentation looks fantastic.

Steps:
- Put the butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir to incorporate the melted butter, then stir in the couscous, cover with a tight-fitting lid and remove from the heat. Let stand until the couscous absorbs the water completely and is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
- Stir in the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, feta and parsley until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Whisk together the hummus, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Pour the hummus vinaigrette over the couscous salad and toss to combine.
- Scoop each avocado half from its skin with a large spoon. Squeeze 1 or 2 drops of lemon juice over each half, season with salt and top with a heaping 1/3 cup of the couscous salad. Serve immediately.
GREEK-STYLE COUSCOUS SALAD FOR A CROWD
This should be enough to serve about 12 people but that just depends on how much everyone eats, and trust me they will be going for seconds lol! although you will need only about 1/2 to 3/4 cup dressing for the salad the amounts listed will give you about 1-1/2 cups, you may reduce by half is desired and also the salad may be reduced by half, use a mixture of all coloured bell peppers for a colourful presentation but do not use more than 1-1/2 cups bell peppers, plan ahead the salad needs to chill until completely cold before serving, all amounts may be adjusted to taste. I strongly suggest to make the dressing a day in advance to blend the flavors, prep time includes chilling time but is only estimated.

GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD
I'm not sure just where I got this recipe, but I've been fixing it for a long, long time, most often with bulgur wheat instead of the couscous. Prep time does not include setting time in the fridge.

- You will probably need more of most dressing ingredients, especially more lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper; but dont add them into the initial dressing mix.
- Add after the dish has set for a while.
- Variation: Replace couscous with coarse bulgur wheat, preferably#3 (very coarse), available at middle-eastern markets and some specialty food stores.
- To prepare, thoroughly rinse 1 cup bulgur in a strainer under running water.

- Prepare the couscous mix according to package instructions making sure to add in the seasoning mix. If you don't use couscous from a package, you'll want to add some of your favorite seasonings because a lot of the flavor in this salad comes from that seasoning.
- While the couscous is cooking, prep the veggies: coarsely chop the cucumber, the peppers, the red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the parsley. To take the "bite" out of the raw red onion you can soak it in cold water (or freshly squeezed lemon juice) for about 10 minutes.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. If desired, roast them in the oven (see the last paragraph in this post).
- Prepare the dressing by adding all of the dressing ingredients to a mason jar. (I add about 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, but add to your personal preference). Seal the jar and shake until combined.
