Mediterranean Couscous Salad

This Mediterranean Couscous Salad is easy, healthy and nutritional. This is a simple salad loaded with lots of fresh veggies and a Lemon Vinaigrette makes this great for a meal on its own or as a side dish. 

The base ingredient for this recipe is the Couscous. You can adjust the quantity of Couscous as per your choice. Also you can use vegetables like artichokes, cucumber and olives to add more nutrition to this dish. I always make a big batch of this dish and store it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. But for this salad to taste fresh for the next few days, skip adding the Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing as it might turn the salad soggy. Toss the salad with the dressing just before you have it, this helps the salad taste fresh anytime you eat.
