This hearty chicken, apple, and couscous salad is full of texture and flavor. It also features curry powder, chickpeas, scallions, fresh lemon juice, and spinach. All you need is 10 minutes to put it all together, and this recipe makes enough for 6 servings. For extra crunch and color, feel free to sprinkle 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped unsalted roasted almonds over the salad right before serving. There's also no need to heat up the oven in order to toast the nuts. Jarred or packaged unsalted roasted almonds are a great time-saver. You can store the leftover nuts in the freezer to keep them fresh so you can have some at hand at all times.
