Quick Dinner Idea

Another quick dinner idea for you! Now that we are a one car duo, our nights are a little more hectic so coming up with something fast and little effort is what I'm all about these days.

This was a super easy throw together salad that was fresh but filling!

Spinach Cous Cous Salad

-Raw Spinach
-1 package of Cous Cous (we had 1 box between the 2 of us so multiply as needed: I chose Cous Cous because it only takes 5 minutes but you could sub for quinoa or brown rice)
-Protein (we had salmon tonight but anything would work, even beans for the herbivores: this should also be something that you have left over like cooked chicken breasts or left over fish, just to make things faster)
-Feta cheese

Assemble in that order and there you go! I like putting something warm on spinach to wilt it a little but you could also cook the spinach first and have this more of a warm salad. We didn't need any dressing since the Cous Cous and feta have enough flavor! And voila! A 5 minute delicious and gourmet salad!
