Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 large or 2-3 small cucumbers, peeled (if you desire), and sliced.<\/p>\n Cherry tomatoes; halved.<\/p>\n 1 purple onion; diced.<\/p>\n 1 box couscous; I like to use the one with pine nuts for a little extra crunch.<\/p>\n Feta or Goat cheese; whichever you prefer. Add as much or as little as you like.<\/p>\n 1-2 T Balsamic Vinaigrette<\/p>\n Salt and Pepper; You can also add parsley, garlic, basil or a squeeze of lemon\u2013whatever you want! It\u2019s all about the flavor YOU love.<\/p>\n *You can add any veggies you love to this salad\u2014there is no right or wrong way to make this delish! Think corn, olives, avocado, peppers. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n Prepare couscous according to package directions. Let cool to room temp.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, combine the ingredients and give it a good stir.<\/p>\n Place in the refrigerator and let those flavors come together for a few hours.<\/p>\n Bonus: Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for some extra flavor.<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n Christina is a clinical oncology social worker and the psychosocial content editor at OncoLink.
