Summer Garden Couscous Salmon Salad ... recipe

One thing about summer is that we tend to eat so much lighter and this salad fits the bill.

With the temps in the 100's over the past two weeks here DH and I really have not wanted much of anything to eat. I stumbled across this recipe in my saved/try pile and figured it would be perfect for now.

The original recipe did not call for the salmon I added that in for a bit of protein and I have to say it really was a tasty addition. I also added in radishes because they had been sitting in the refrigerator for a bit of time and thought they would add some more color.

This recipe was a nice change of pace and very satisfying. We had it for dinner but I can easily see eating it for a lunch.

Such a fresh and light meal for those hot summer days, give it a try and enjoy.
