This Mediterranean Couscous Salad will be your favorite Summer salad. This couscous salad is tangy, crunchy, and so unbelievably refreshing! My husband’s exact words that came out of his mouth when he tried this salad for the first time were “This is the best salad I’ve ever had in my life”. I love serving this salad with some rotisserie chicken for a quick & easy meal. Be sure to try my Watermelon Feta Salad as well!
