Ingredients
- 1 bag Arugula
- 1 ½ lbs Tilapia
- ⅔ cup dry Israeli Couscous
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped Parsley
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- ½ cup marinated feta & olives jarred or in deli section
- salt & pepper to taste

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 garlic clove finely diced or pressed
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey

Instructions
- Make red wine vinaigrette ahead of time by combining all ingredients in a jar and shaking it up. Refrigerate to let flavors combine.
- Start making couscous by toasting it dry with 1 tbsp of the oil, then follow the remaining cooking instructions on the label.
- Season tilapia with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear with remaining 1 tbsp oil on both sides over medium-high heat until fully cooked (the fish will flake off in the middle and will no longer be translucent).
- While the tilapia is cooking, chop up the parsley and red peppers.
- Assemble salad. Add a bed of arugula to a salad bowl, then add the couscous, red peppers, marinated feta and olives, parsley, tilapia, and the red wine vinaigrette. Toss together and enjoy!
