Ingredients
Directions
Using the microwave or a teapot, bring 1 ¼ cups water to a boil. Add into a medium-sized heatproof container, along with couscous. Stir together and cover with a lid or very tightly with plastic wrap. Let couscous sit for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel cucumbers. Quarter each cucumber and then cut into 1-inch chunks. Add into a large bowl. If desired, halve the grapes or add them whole into the bowl. Chop the scallions, about ¼ cup, and add into the bowl.
When couscous is finished, use a fork to fluff it and then add into the bowl along with the olives, chickpeas, parsley, oil, and lemon juice. Use a large spoon or spatula to stir to combine. Serve, topping each portion with 1 tablespoon feta cheese.
Quick Tips
Cooking Tip: When using naturally salty food like feta cheese and olives, you don’t need to add extra salt into a dish.
Keep it Healthy: Canned items, like beans and vegetables, should be drained and rinsed with water in a colander to remove some of the salt added during the canning process.
Tip: English cucumber can be substituted for 2 medium regular cucumbers—English cucumbers, however, are often more expensive so only substitute if they are on sale.
