Lemon Chicken Marinade

Got this recipe from cooks.com

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1/2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor until liquids are fully combined and garlic is well pureed. Mixture should be opaque and fairly thick. Pour over chicken and marinade for 4-8 hours.

This has a good taste. I marinated boneless chicken breasts and broiled them in the oven. Afterward, I made salad wraps with them.

Couscous Salad

This is such a refreshing summer dish. I don't have the amounts to most of this stuff, just use your judgement as to how much of each ingredient to put in.

Cook up Israeli Couscous (about 2 cups)
Stir in a good amount of olive oil and place in fridge covered to cool.
Chop up mint leaves and cilantro stir into couscous
Add minced garlic and sea salt
Stir in:
feta cheese
garbanzo beans (1 can)
grape tomatoes (halved)
balsamic vinegar (a splash)

Chill in fridge
