This is a great recipe that I like to use as a quick lunch. It’s fairly simple, delicious and pretty healthy!
Ingredients
1 cup cooked cous cous (any variety, any flavor)
½ cup garbanzo beans
½ cup garbanzo beans
¼ cup feta cheese (any flavor, this time I used herb and garlic)
chopped cucumber
chopped bell pepper
chopped green onion
Directions
Mix and eat
It’s that simple. Chop up your veggies while the cous cous is cooking and it takes maybe 10 minutes from start to finish. The great thing is you can use anything you happen to have lying around in your cupboards or fridge. It’s a good way to use up vegetables that might be starting to look a little sad. You could even throw in some leftover chicken or steak in there if you wanted, but the garbanzo beans give you plenty of protein and staying power.
I usually assemble this the night before and take it to work for lunch. It lasts very well in the fridge, if anything the longer it sits the fluffier the cous cous is. You could even add some olive oil and balsamic vinegar to add some flavor, or even some Italian dressing.
The other thing I like about this is there’s minimal chance for spoilage, making it good for a potluck (not to mention how easy!).
