One of my absolute favorite things to eat lately has been this Whole Wheat Couscous Greek Salad. It is super quick to
put together and it is prefect to bring for lunch or to have as a side with dinner. I am actually boiling water as I write up this post to make another batch of this for my lunches for the rest of this week.
- 1 cup whole wheat couscous
- 1 pepper (any color), diced
- 1 cup baby tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 1 English cucumber, cubed
- ½ red onion, diced
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- Cook couscous following package directions.
- Combine the remaining ingredients with cooled couscous.
- Let cool in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
The couscous and olive oil I used both came from Trader Joe’s. I think that this particular olive oil really gives the salad a great flavor because it is made from Greek Kalamata olives. You can really pick up on the distinct flavor of Kalamata olives in the oil and it is very yummy!
I hope you enjoy this!
Have you ever tried couscous? What if your favorite type of oil?

I just found your blog today and saw this recipe and got inspired to finally use up that box of whole wheat couscous that I had sitting in my pantry. I made a couple of little modifications but overall it’s delicious!!! And I always forget just how much couscous a box yields – lunches for the week are all set!
