Instructions
- Prepare the couscous (or other grain of choice) according to the box instructions. You’ll need a sauce pot, strainer, and rubber spatula for this step.
- While the couscous is cooking, wash and dry the rest of the fresh ingredients. Finely chop the cucumber, parsley, and crush the almonds.
- Allow the couscous to cool before you continue with any next steps. We don’t want it to cook any of our other ingredients by being too hot.
- Then, add the couscous, cucumber, feta cheese, parsley, almonds, and arugula to the salad bowl. Toss together.
- In a mason jar, add the dressing ingredients together. I recommend doubling and storing the rest in the fridge for when enjoying the salad. Shake until well combined.
- Toss the salad with dressing and serve!
Notes
- Store this salad in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 days. Note: The couscous will absorb the dressing. So if you’re making this for meal prep, it’s best if you make additional dressing or add the dressing prior to serving.
