This is a super-easy, great tasting salad that can be served hot or cold. The balsamic vinegar and feta add great flavor. You can also add chopped chicken breasts to make it a complete meal. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 (14.5 ounce) can fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1 1/2 cups couscous |
2 cups chopped tomato |
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic in a large microwave-safe bowl; heat on high until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add chicken broth and heat on high until simmering, about 4 minutes. Gradually stir in couscous. Cover and let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork.
2. Stir tomato, basil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper into couscous; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with feta cheese.
