Instructions

For the Couscous

Melt butter over medium high heat and add couscous in a small pan. Toast couscous lightly until fragrant and golden brown, stirring constantly. Add broth and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook 10-12 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

For the Vinaigrette

Add lemon juice, vinegar, honey, mustard, and oil to a small mason jar with a pinch of salt and a few turns of freshly ground pepper and screw the lid on securely. Shake well until emulsified.

For the Salad

Add 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette to the cooled couscous. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes. In a large bowl, layer baby greens, couscous, feta cheese, and sliced chicken. Tear fresh basil leaves over the top of the salad and sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (optional). Add additional vinaigrette to taste.
