Summer Couscous and Shrimp Salad
Great for picnics because it’s made with vinaigrette and therefore isn’t as sensitive to the heat. Not a big seafood fan? Substitute grilled chicken for the shrimp if you like.

Instructions
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegars, garlic, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set dressing aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 teaspoon of oil. Add onions and cook until translucent. Remove onions and set aside to cool. Return pan to the stove.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and cook shrimp a few minutes on each side until cooked through; refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a large bowl, combine chopped onions, couscous, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and artichokes; mix well. Toss in cubed feta and pour dressing over mixture. Refrigerate several hours, or overnight if possible.
To serve, toss chilled couscous salad and top with chilled shrimp.
