Rabbit Food

Tonight when I made dinner I thought of all the ingredients, measured them out and when everything was ready, I threw it all together.  It turned out looking a little like rabbit food or some strange vegan meal you see in the movies.  So what did I do? I went with it. I was originally going to eat this couscous salad by itself but since it already looked so "earthy-crunchy" I chose to take it a step further. Lettuce wraps!

Since I'm on my new calorie kick they're included too!

-1/3 cup cooked white pearl couscous (the cooking directions include adding butter and salt when simmering but I just left out all of that): 166 cals
-1 inch cube of feta cheese crumbled: 35 cals
-1/4 craisins: 130 cals
-1 thin sliced chicken breast (cooked plain on a skillet with no spices): 250 cals
-1 Tbs olive oil and vinegar dressing: 75 cals
-5 garlic and cheese croutons from whole foods (the 365 kind): 35 cals
-about a handful of alfalfa sprouts: 5 cals cals
-as much lettuce as you want! (each leaf of lettuce is only one calorie)

I measured all the ingredients, cooked the chicken, sliced it and placed it in the fridge in a bowl with all the other ingredients minus the couscous and salad dressing.  I cooked the couscous and placed it in it's own bowl to cool in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Once everything was cooled down, I placed all the ingredients in a bowl and tossed it with the salad dressing.  The salad dressing gave it enough flavor that I didn't need any salt or other seasoning.  Plus the feta and craisins carry enough flavor of their own!  I spooned out servings into some pieces of lettuce, rolled 'em up and chowed down!
