Couscous Salad with Roasted Vegetables and Chickpeas

My apologies for the delay in these posts. I've been making dishes however I have just been delayed in posting.

This recipe is found on page 39 in Martha Stewart's Light Cookbook.

I made this two weeks ago. This seemed to be my husband's favorite. He loves couscous and with the roasted vegetables (carrots and cauliflower), lemon zest, and chickpeas this was a sure win!

This called for 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice which, at the time, seemed like quite a bit. The couscous absorbs most of it and doesn't make it watery. It does make it very fresh and not a heavy flavor.

Which leads me to my next thing. This was in the "Winter" section of her book where I thought this was more of a spring/summer meal. You serve this chilled and we found this to be light and seasonal. It's definitely not just a winter meal.

This also calls for baby arugla which I still have in my fridge. I wimped out at the end. I am not a fan of arugla however I will have to make this again to use it. My promise to this challenge was to follow through with the entire recipe. However, I think I would have preferred if she said to use baby spinach. I'm going to trust you though, Martha!

Needless to say- this was a win and will be made again. Super simple and delightful!

My next meal made was... Chicken, Spinach, and Potato Hash. Check out my next blog!
