Greek Couscous Salad Recipe

This dish was great. I have made something similar before with orzo instead of couscous but couscous is outstanding and looks very pretty on the plate. I did use whole wheat couscous, and because it is dark the other ingredients didn't stand out as much. Regardless, it was pretty to look at and delicious. I also used all chicken broth (3/4 cup) , no water. As is, this is a very light lunch but if you cook some chicken breasts strips on the side seasoned with salt and pepper you can make this a more filling dinner entree. I say "salt and pepper" because the flavors in this couscous are complex enough and a heavy seasoned chicken might be a bit too much. Of course, it depends on your own personal taste and that of your family. Opa!!

Super easy to make. The flavors are great and it's light and refreshing. I used a sweet pepper instead of sun-dried tomatoes and I left out the olives. I added a little extra lemon juice also. :)

I tripled the recipe for meal prep. Added onions and cucumber. Don't worry too much about the quantity of liquids, I just kept adding 1/2 cup increments of water/broth until it was as fluffy as I wanted. One suggestion is to season the chick peas with cumin, paprika, and chile powder, then bake for 10 min. Overall super good.

Very good salad. Love the fresh taste. I did add a few things. Teaspoon of fresh lemon zest dried in warm pan along with toasted pine nuts. I also used champagne vinegar.

Great recipe! I made some changes because of what I had on hand. I substituted Quinoa for the Couscous, used all lemon juice instead of the lemon juice and white vinegar, omitted the cucumbers (though I wish I’d had some as I’ve made it before with the cukes and it was delish!), and added some different varieties of cherry/pear tomatoes - quartered. Fast and easy, and very yummy!

Excellent. I did not have garbanzo bean but used a can of kidney beans. I also used a can of Rotel spicy tomatoes. Super good.

Super delicious! Didn’t have white wine vinegar so subbed in apple cider vinegar, also used a cup of halved cherry tomatoes instead of dried. This is the type of recipe you can easily adjust for taste or what’s in the cupboard, and will come our yummy every time!

This is delicious! I added cucumbers and some cooked red quinoa, I also doubled the dressing (I did also add olive oil to the dressing) - went light on the olives and feta - the flavor was very well balanced for me! Thank you!

YUM! This was delicious! For my own future reference: Made 1 1/2 c couscous (toasted in butter and garlic first) in 1 c water and 3/4c chicken broth, salt. After cooking added all other ingredients. Did not like it with garbanzos much. Added parsley and olive oil. Rowenna did not appreciate the garlic/chick broth.

I have made it many times and it's always a big hit! It's my "go to" for parties, pot lucks, etc. I often add chicken/tofu/tempeh to give it more protein. I also add a little more vinegar and lemon juice to give it a little more zip! Love it!

So quick and easy to make but really quite tasty. Took advice about using all chicken broth/no water. Only other change I made was using red wine vinegar because that's what I had on hand. Will definitely make again.

FIrst issue is the tab to increase the # of portions is not working on this site. I doubled this recipe - four of us for a side dish with dinner. Still had about 1 cup left. I would increase the feta cheese. For a doubled recipe 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar is enough because you get some brine from the olives. It was delicious, easy to prepare and I will definitely make it again. By the term we served it, it seemed a little 'thick' so we put in a splash of evoo to moisten.

I cooked it broth, no water Added fresh tomatoes

Even my skeptical friend approved.

I really loved this. But - next time, I'll add some chicken from a rotiserie chicken and some red onion - and maybe a little more feta cheese. It was very tasty!

I did like it. I didn't have the chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes or olives (which I am not a huge fan of), so I can't say what that flavor profile would have been then, but I know what they all taste like individually. I think the salty/sweet would be interesting, but I only had what I had. I subbed 3/4 of a can of rotel diced tomato which gave it a kick and did everything else the same. Like a said, I did like it, and certainly may give the full recipe a try once I have the complete ingredients.

This meal was so delicious, a new family favorite.

Excellent texture and flavor. Everyone loved it!

I can't say I love this recipe but it's okay. Used tri-color couscous because I already had it on hand. I used a full can of garbanzo beans rather than measuring out a cup. I didn't measure the feta, just added a bunch til it looked good. And I used vegetable broth instead of chicken because I don't eat meat. I'm not sure what I don't love about this honestly, but I don't think I'll make it again.
