Stetson Chopped Salad

This is my favorite salad! I like to add skinless boneless chicken pieces that I toss with jarred pesto sauce and saute in a frypan to make a meal of it. The dressing is similar to goddess dressing - really delish. The couscous makes it filling. I had a different version of this recipe that called for mixing the pepitas and currants in a bowl with an equal amount of parmesan or asiago cheese (1/3 pepitas, 1/3 currants, 1/3 cheese) and then sprinkling on top. I like it all mixed up that way best. You can also sub in craisins for currants and still yummy. Try this salad!!!!

Really delicious! Lots of textures and flavours! I considered leaving out the currants, but I’m glad I left them in because they go so perfectly with the rest of the ingredients. Even if you’re not a fan of sweet things in savoury food, leave them in - trust me!
