Couscous Tabbouleh
"Here is another easy and extremely versatile salad recipe, made with whole wheat couscous and packed with protein and fiber! I added garbanzo beans to bulk it up a bit and only used a bit of olive oil because I didn't want it "overdressed." Lots of lemon juice in this recipe, but feel free to add more or less oil/lemon if you prefer! This salad is great over greens, stuffed inside a pita, or served on whole grain crackers. It'd probably be excellent with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top as well. As always ????..."
