Happy Monday all! I had a reader inquire this weekend about a delicious and easy salad recipe that I made awhile back. She actually saw Janetha put a spin on it over on Meals & Moves so I figured, why not bring it back up from the archives to share with you all too :) Janetha’s version adds chicken so you would have to account for the points with that ~ maybe divide it into two servings versus one.
Thanks for the question, Rachel! This got me thinking TWO things:
1. There are so many recipes that I’d love to make again ~ Maybe I need to visit my recipe page more often and possibly feature archived recipes occasionally to share.
2. I’d love to feature any of you on my site if any of you make one of my recipes ~ just let me know and I’ll be glad to link up.
Quick ChickPea Couscous Salad Recipe*

Have a great day all ~ I’ll be back tonight before The Bachelorette! 😀
I dream about this salad. Soooo yummy! When I saw the post title on Facebook I KNEW it was for this recipe!
What is berry blend?
Hi Andrea,
Berry Blend is a mix of dried fruit that I pick up at Trader Joe’s. It includes dried cranberries, dried blueberries, dried regular and golden raisins. You could really use any dried fruit of your choice in this salad.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for asking,
Danica
