⚠️Allergens:
🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For gluten-free diners, swap the pearled couscous for a gluten-free grain like quinoa or rice, since wheat is a built-in allergen here. To make it dairy-free, leave out the feta or use a plant-based feta-style cheese; you can also omit the stock concentrate if you need a lower-sodium finish.
What to serve with it
Serve with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a more filling lunch, plus warm pita or crusty bread to scoop up the citrusy juices. A simple green salad or roasted vegetables also works well to round out the fresh, crunchy flavors.
