Couscous Salad

This is by far my favorite grain salad.  Couscous is probably one of the easiest grains to cook, hands down.  It's got a bright flavor that pairs well with Mediterranean dishes like falafel.  To serve as a main course, add any protein you wish-- baked tofu, grilled chicken, albacore tuna, vegan Italian sausage, etc. 

1 cup chopped walnuts
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 cup couscous, prepared as directed
8 oz crumbled feta cheese, (reduced fat ok)
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup quartered artichoke hearts
1 Tbs. dried dill
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Toss all ingredients together in large bowl.  Refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors combine.
