Ingredients

• 2 Cups chicken broth
• 10 Ounces (oz) couscous, packaged
• 0.75 Cups olive oil
• 0.25 Cups fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) white balsamic vinegar
• 0.25 Cups fresh rosemary leaves, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground
• 2 Large cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
• 1 Cup English cucumber, diced
• 0.5 Cups sun-dried tomatoes, drained
• 0.5 Cups pitted kalamata olives, minced
• 0.5 Cups feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.33 Cups fresh Italian parsley, minced

Steps

1. Place the chicken broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the couscous, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and let it cool for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar in a blender or food processor. Mix on low until the mixture thickens, then stir in the rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cucumber, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. Stir in the couscous, feta cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Toss the salad with half of the dressing. Taste and add more dressing as desired. If preparing the salad in advance, add additional dressing just before serving.
