Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup(s) water
- 1⁄2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1⁄4 tsp kosher salt
- 1⁄4 cup(s) uncooked whole wheat couscous
- 4 Tbsp marinated artichokes, drained, rinsed
- 1 Tbsp uncooked shallot(s) (1 medium)
- 2 Tbsp reduce fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tsp mint leaves, minced (optional)
- 1 cup(s) fresh spinach
- 1⁄2 cup(s) roasted red peppers (packed in water), drained and rinsed
- 8 large olive(s), Kalamata kind
- 1⁄2 cup(s) canned chickpeas (undrained), drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Whisk together water, Dijon mustard, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stir in cous cous, cover and let sit for 5 minutes.

Notes
Just about any fresh herbs you have on hand would be fine substitutes for the mint… try parsley, chives, basil, tarragon, or cilantro
