SESAME CHICKEN COUSCOUS SALAD
This is just a delight for a spring picnic or small potluck. To save time, you can do steps 1-3 the day before and store the couscous in the refrigerator. Almonds, sesame oil and seeds can be easily omited and the oil replaced with olive oil in step 1 (and just omited altogether in step 6).

SESAME COUSCOUS SALAD
A combination of simple ingredients that results in amazing flavor. You can use pretty much any grain you like in this salad, from couscous to bulgur to quinoa to millet, etc. (whatever you prefer, really), just make sure to adjust the cooking time for the grain to fit the type you're using! This can easily become a vegetarian meal if you omit the chicken breast (and it's really good either way!).
