Sweet red peppers, broccoli, cilantro, and scallions––this couscous salad showcases an interesting mix of textures and flavors. We included turkey for added flavor and to make it a one-dish meal. However, if you prefer to have a vegetarian or side dish, you can leave out the turkey. You can also substitute rotisserie chicken for the turkey. The vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic dressing can be made ahead of time and adds an Asian flair to the dish. It takes just 7 minutes to prepare this dish that's perfect for either lunch or dinner.
