Once a week, my roommate Bea makes dinner for all of us. Usually, this means that she whips up her “famous salad” over a bed of pearled couscous. This salad is super healthy, easy, and so so delicious, and can be made with or without many of the listed ingredients. Just throw in what you like, toss it all together, and a freshly made dinner awaits! Find the recipe down below (credit: https://cafedelites.com/avocado-greek-salad/)
