This easy pearl couscous and chickpea salad is perfect for entertaining or alongside a casual barbecue. Tossed with a quick homemade garlic zesty dressing, it can be the ideal side dish for your next picnic. Like many of my other salads, this dish is a complete meal in itself.
Step 1.
Cook the pearl couscous according to package directions, then shake excess water and toss with a little oil to prevent it from sticking. Set aside.
Step 2.
Chop and prepare the salad ingredients and combine in a bowl large enough to mix in.
Step 3.
To make the dressing, combine dressing ingredients (I like using a jar for this – always shake the jar before pouring over the salad). Season with salt and pour over the salad. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
