Hello there! A while back I showed you my favorite Summer pasta salad. Today I'll be showing you a recipe I love just as much and is even easier! (For that reason, I might just love it more!)
Here is what I use. First, I use packaged couscous. I like to buy the pre-seasoned variety (roasted garlic & olive oil here) because I love a lot of flavor but the plain is good too. Then, I use crumbled feta, kalamata olives, marinated artichoke hearts and tomatoes. I love cherry tomatoes but the grape tomatoes are just a little bit sweeter and I like that to balance the saltiness of all the other ingredients.
I slice my grape tomatoes lengthwise.
...and do the same with my olives.
...quarter my artichoke hearts lengthwise.
...and add all of it to my couscous cooked according to package directions.
Toss in your feta...
Mix well and serve!
This is good warm or cold but I actually prefer it cold, right out of the fridge. I also like to serve it with a sweet fruit, like kiwi here, just to help balance the saltiness.
This really is one of my favorite things to make but my family isn't too fond of it so I don't get to make it often.
What do you love to make? Are you in love with these Mediterranean flavors like I am?
this looks so yummy and hearty! thanks for the dinner inspiration.

Yum. Love Mediterranean. But same thing with my family - they view couscous with suspicion.
