NOTE: This recipe started at dishingouthealth.com. I adjusted it to what I had on-hand. I have salmon, lots and lots of salmon. I had leftover couscous from dinner two nights ago during the Snowpocalypse power outage that lasted 24 hours (8pm Wednesday to 8pm Thursday). We got 30+ inches of snow from 3pm Wednesday to 3pm Friday. The nice thing about having a gas range is all you need is a match and you can eat a simple dinner like leftover African Salmon Peanut Soup over couscous. But then I discovered I had made too much couscous in the dark. So, rather than throwing it away, I shoved it into the refrigerator when the power came back on. And then I stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest and voila here we are. This Mediterranean Salmon Salad is really tasty and we had a nice lunch today while staring at the white winter wonderland around us.
