TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this Greek chicken and couscous salad.

  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice enhances the bright, tangy flavour of the salad.
  • Chill For Extra Freshness: Letting the salad sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes allows the flavours to meld beautifully.
  • Make It A Full Meal: Serve with warm pita bread, hummus or a handful of olives for a more filling dish.
  • Use Grilled Chicken For The Best Flavour: Grilled chicken adds a smoky, slightly charred taste that complements the Mediterranean ingredients.
  • Adjust Seasoning To Taste: Add a pinch of oregano or garlic powder for extra depth.

VARIATIONS

  • Add More Veggies: Cherry tomatoes, red onion or bell peppers add extra crunch and colour.
  • Boost The Protein: Toss in chickpeas or add an extra tablespoon of feta cheese.
  • Low-Carb Option: Swap couscous for cauliflower rice or leafy greens.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Replace feta with avocado for a creamy texture without cheese.
  • Herb Infusion: Garnish with fresh parsley, dill or mint for an extra burst of freshness.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture of the cucumber and feta may change.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Prepare a larger batch and portion into meal-prep containers for quick, grab-and-go lunches.
