Feta and Chickpea Couscous Salad
A perfect prepare ahead salad for lunchboxes.Recipe
This is really just an assembly job...
wiegh the couscous out in a large bowl, pour over the hot stock, cover a with a large plate and leave to steep for about 5mins. Once all the stock has been absorbed, fluff up using a fork. Pile all the ingredients into the bowl and mix thoroughly. Squeeze the lemon juice over and pour in the olive. Mix really well and taste, it'll probably need some salt and pepper.
