Equipment

Ingredients

1 box (5.8 ounces) couscous (I used Near East roasted garlic )
1-1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
1 can (14 to 15 ounces) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup chopped English cucumber
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
4 green onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the couscous according to package directions, omitting the oil. Fluff the couscous with a fork.
In a large bowl combine the chicken, garbanzo beans, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, mint and garlic. Gently stir in the couscous.
In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Pour dressing over couscous mixture and toss gently.
Taste and adjust seasonings.

6 PointsPlus (Old plan)

I added 1 teaspoon Zaatar seasoning, which is delicious but totally optional. Other tasty additions to consider: halved kalamata olives, chopped artichoke hearts, crumbled feta cheese.

In place of the chicken, try cooked shrimp or canned tuna for a delicious alternative.
