Couscous and Chicken Fruit Salad,“Couscous gets it’s beginnings in North Africa, and this salad is a great introduction it! Great for summer eating!”,I actually made this for to take for lunch today. The salad was served cold on top of shredded romaine instead of the spinach. It was light and very refreshing. The flavors blended nicely.
