The couscous salad would make a great accompaniment to these wonderful Shish Taouk, from Saad Fayed, About's Guide to Middle Eastern Food. Cubes of chicken breast are marinated in a special blend of spices to produce succulent, flavorful kebabs. Saad suggests using onions, mushrooms and green peppers if you want to add some veggies to your kebabs.
