I was grilling chicken and steak and needed a quick hearty side to serve with dinner. I grabbed a few of my favorite ingredients and mixed together a Hot CousCous Salad. Hearts of palm was actually on sale at the grocery store, score! I love adding them to my salads.
Hot CouCous Salad
Ingredients:
3 c. cooked CousCous, 1 zucchini, 10 cherry tomato, 3 hearts of palm, 1 c. Feta, 3 Tbsp. EVOO, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. dried oregano, 1 tsp. dried parsley, 1 tsp. marjoram, 1 clove of garlic
Directions:
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and grill. Dice zucchini and add to bowl. Slice cherry tomatoes in half. Slice hearts of palm. Mince garlic. Combine all ingredients in bowl, serve hot.
*I ran out of cherry tomatoes, so I diced a medium tomato.

I would probably add some beans and make it a meal.
Good idea!
that looks yummy… may have to make that for dinner tonight!!!
If you do, let me know how it turns out.
The flavor and veggies turned out great. how do you cook your couscous and what brand do you buy… i have only made the boxed already seasoned couscous …
Danielle, I buy Rice Select, because it’s what my supermarket carries. Ii comes in a plastic container (31.7oz). Sometimes they even have tri-color CouCous. I bring my water, sea salt and olive oil (sometimes butter) to a boil. Then I remove from heat, stir in CousCous, cover and set aside for about 5 minutes. Then I fluff with a fork. Each cup of water needs a cup of dry CousCous, I generally make two at a time, since it yields more.
