½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley

步驟

Prepare the couscous: In a medium pot, add the water, couscous and salt and bring to a boil. Stir couscous, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until all of the liquid is absorbed. Transfer to a large sieve and rinse the couscous with cold water for about 1 minute, until the couscous has cooled. Transfer to a large bowl.

Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl or mason jar: add the lemon juice, olive oil, dijon, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, sugar (or honey) and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk until well combined and emulsified, or alternatively, place a lid on the jar and shake until well combined.

Prepare the salad: In the large bowl with the couscous, add the kale and chickpeas. Pour the lemon vinaigrette over and use tongs to toss until dressing coats everything well, about 1 minute.

Next, add in the olives, feta, parsley and red onion. Toss again with tongs until well-combined. Add salt and pepper to taste, as needed. Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Salad is excellent prepped ahead of time. Try serving with tortilla chips, pita chips or pita crackers for scooping up. This salad is also fantastic served on the side with your favorite protein such as grilled steak, chicken, shrimp or salmon. Enjoy!
