This hearty Mediterranean couscous salad is quick and easy to assemble with pantry staples like pearl couscous, canned artichoke hearts, feta, bell pepper, and cucumber with poached shrimp to bump up the protein and make this salad a meal-in-one.
If there’s one type of lunch I never tire of, it’s a big Mediterranean-inspired salad that’s packed with fresh veggies, heart-healthy fats, and lean protein.
This couscous salad checks all the boxes — tender poached shrimp, crunchy veggies, briny feta, and chewy pearl couscous get tossed in a bright and tangy lemon herb dressing.
Even better, it’s a flexible recipe that’s great for clearing out the fridge.
No cucumbers? Toss in chopped romaine.
Out of feta? A handful of olives works too.
Short on shrimp? Add leftover salmon or chicken from last night's dinner.
Mediterranean Diet-friendly and great for meal prep, this pearl couscous salad with shrimp and feta tastes good and is good for you.
Enjoy!
