Prepare the Couscous

In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

In a large bowl, combine arugula, cooked couscous, roasted red pepper, diced cucumbers, pickled red onions, kalamata olives, roasted asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and artichokes.

Dress the Salad

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
