[NEW] Athenian Couscous Salad

Make this salad as part of a meal prep day to give it time to marinate in the fridge before serving. Top it with whatever protein is easy to round it out as a meal. Leftover chicken, a boiled egg, or some canned low-sodium beans are great choices to turn it into a real meal. Pair it with this Moroccan Pork Loin for a special treat.
