This is the pearled couscous salad I’ve been making for many years.
2 chicken breasts, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder (sear + bake until cooked, then chop)
1 box Near East pearled couscous (I used roasted garlic + onion flavor)
2 bell peppers, diced
1 cucumber, diced
¼ cup red onion, diced 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
⅓ cup parsley, chopped
Dressing
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp oregano
Mix together and enjoy right away or chill for a few hours. It’s fresh, filling, and makes meal prep actually exciting.

This sounds great. I may even make less and use it over some mixed greens as a salad topper because I always cut up bell peepers, cucumber, red onion and tomatoes for my regular salad.. so I am very tempted to try your recipe.
