ROSEMARY CHICKEN COUSCOUS SALAD
This is a wonderful summer salad. Fresh herbs keep the salad light, while the chicken and feta cheese make it hearty enough to serve for a main meal. Use as a side dish by omitting the chicken and adding chopped artichoke hearts. The salad also works wonderfully with grilled salmon or chicken.

QUICK CHICKEN COUSCOUS
Take a break from pasta, rice, and potatoes with this quick chicken couscous bowl. Made with chicken breast (or thighs, or even leftover chicken!) and diced veggies of your choice, it's an impressive meal that takes just minutes to make once all the ingredients are prepped. The chicken is moist and tender, the couscous is light yet satisfying, and the veggies add color, flavor, and texture. It can be eaten at any temperature and would be perfect to pack for a picnic.

Steps:
- Place couscous in a heat-proof mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, and olive oil; stir with a spoon until all couscous is coated with oil. Level off to smooth the top and set aside.
- Season chicken on both sides with salt.

CHICKEN, CORN, AND COUSCOUS SALAD
I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's magazine; originally it did not include the chicken but I wanted to add something so it could be a meal by itself. If you'd rather not have the chicken just use another 1/4 cup couscous and another 1 cup corn instead. This makes just enough for me to have it for dinner and next day's lunch; as a side dish I'm guessing it would be enough for three or four.
