A great way to use leftover chicken, this 30-minute dinner salad uses quick-to-cook couscous and lots of brightly flavored herbs.
Ingredients(4 Servings)
Salad:
1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 box uncooked couscous
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup diced radishes (about 3 large)
1/2 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
Dressing:
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
Directions
To prepare salad, bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous.
Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Spoon couscous into a large bowl; cool slightly. Add chicken, onions, radishes, cucumber, parsley, and pine nuts; toss gently to combine.
To prepare dressing, combine vinegar and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle dressing over salad; toss to combine.
Note: You can toast nuts quickly in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Stir frequently, and as soon as they become fragrant, remove the nuts from the pan.
