Moroccan Couscous Salad

This recipe is delicious, fresh, and includes interesting flavors. I love it as a large meal salad for two. You could also omit the chicken breast for a vegetarian side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry couscous
• Approx. 1.5 cups vegetable broth (to replace water in couscous package directions)
• 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 3-4 carrots, finely grated
• 1/3 cup golden raisins, plus more to taste
• 1 medium finely diced red onion
• 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 2 rotisserie chicken breasts, shredded

Dressing

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• juice of two lemons
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• salt and pepper to taste

Cook couscous according to package directions, substituting vegetable broth for water. Combine all other salad ingredients. Whisk together dressing ingredients and toss with salad. Enjoy!
