This Mediterranean couscous salad that I threw together over the weekend is really something special. Filled with crunchy vegetables and a lemon this is a perfect recipe for a hot Summers day.
This is a great side dish for picnics or grilling days, it keeps well in the fridge and makes a refreshing lunch.
I served this with grilled mushrooms and kale slaw. Yes, I think I might be in love with kale slaw, but as much as I love kale slaw, I love this recipe just as much. Now that’s love.
