Couscous salad

This couscous salad is one of the simplest and fastest dinner recipes. I make this at minimum once every two weeks! I always make a little bit extra so I can have it for lunch the next day. It's also delicious when it's cold since all the flavors are extra intense!

Tip: by replacing the chicken with tofu you have a great vegetarian couscous!
