Ingredients

  • 14 1/2 ounces chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup couscous, dry
  • 2/3 cup vinaigrette salad dressing
  • 16 ounces canned artichoke hearts, drained, halved

How To Make couscous platter

  • Step 1
    In medium saucepan bring broth to a boil. Stir in couscous. Cover pan and remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff couscous with a fork, then toss with 1/3 cup of the vinaigrette.
  • Step 2
    To assemble, place couscous in the center of a large platter. Arrange artichoke hearts, tomatoes, olives and chicken (tuna or anchovies); separately but surrounding the couscous. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the plattered items.
  • Step 3
    1/3 cup sliced green onions or 2 TBS chopped fresh mint can be tossed into the couscous, before plating it on the platter.
