Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pearl Couscous
Roasted Chickpeas and Carrots
Veggies
- ¾ cup Cucumber finely diced
- ½ Green Bell Pepper cored, finely diced
- 12 Cherry Tomatoes diced
- 1 cup Baby Spinach chopped
Harissa Yogurt Dressing
- ¾ cup Plant-Based Yogurt
- ¼ cup Herbs finely chopped, I used mint, basil and cilantro, or parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 ½ tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Harissa Paste
- 2 teaspoons Maple Syrup
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Cook the couscous according to the instructions. Drain and cool it completely before using it in the salad. I like to let it cool for 30 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate it.
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, add the canned chickpeas, carrot sticks, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Toss to coat them evenly.
- Transfer the mix to a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes in the center rack of the oven until roasted.
- Let the roasted mixture cool down fully before adding it to the salad.
- Meanwhile, stir all the salad dressing ingredients together until smooth. Set aside in the fridge while you assemble the salad.
- If you are making salad jars, add the ingredients to each jar in equal portions in this order: salad dressing, roasted chickpeas, and carrots, cooled cooked couscous, cucumber, tomatoes, green peppers, and spinach.
- Store in airtight glass mason jars for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Place a plate on the open jar and flip the lot upside down to serve and toss to combine.
