Mediterranean Couscous Salad | PERFECT Lunch!

When’s the last time you cooked with couscous (if ever)? Mediterranean Couscous Salad is a fast, fresh lunch that’s the perfect reason to try it!

I finish this hearty salad with a bright lemon dressing. Serve this as a side with a simple protein, or add chickpeas for plant-based protein!
