Ingredients:
30g spinach, roughly chopped
10 strips semi-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped
125g pearl couscous, pre-cooked
220g chicken breast, pre-cooked (or your preferred protein)
Dressing:
Za’atar dressing (see my page for the recipe)
Method:
1. Add all of the ingredients into a large bowl except for the chicken.
2. Pour in about 90% of the dressing, reserving the rest for later.
3. Toss everything gently until the couscous and vegetables are evenly coated.
4. Add the pre-cooked chicken (or your protein of choice) on top.
5. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top.
Omg. My mouth is watering. This looks so healthy and so good for lunch. I might pop out to the store and just grab what I need and make it today!
Your recipes are amazing and this is making me crave couscous and I usually don't like couscous😂😂😂😂
Ohhhh. I might make this with tofu just to keep it vegetarian! I always have vegetarian just on Tuesdays! And I might use my teriyaki sauce as the dressing
I love having a couscous salad whenever I go to the cafe, but it's usually over $20 for couscous!! I'm going to make this tonight and take it to work tomorrow. My boss is always saying my lunch breaks are too long so now she can't complain 🙏😂
I love the colours here. Can't believe it's 4 ingredients. We really do eat with our eyes ❤
Such vibrant flavours and colours too! 🤤 🤤
Yum! Looks great & going to try it with regular couscous and quinoa (in different times). Thanks for sharing
