It’s truly a dream come true for us busy bees who want to create healthy meals for our loved ones without spending an hour in the kitchen after a long day. Jam-packed with fresh vegetables and tons of delicious flavors, this couscous dish is the perfect way to pack in lots of fresh veggies. 

On its own, this healthy dish is the perfect vegan dinner. That being said, I love serving it as a side dish alongside a lean protein source like chicken breast or salmon. This easy vegetable couscous pairs incredibly with just about anything, so try serving it with your favorite protein source, bread, or salad.

If you’ve never tried couscous before, you’re in for a treat. It’s a grain made of crushed wheat that, when cooked, has a fluffy consistency that is similar to rice or pasta. One of the best things about couscous is how quickly it cooks - almost no work and it's ready in just 5 minutes. 

I don’t know about you, but in my household, the classic rice and veggie pairing tends to get old fast. Couscous is a wonderful way of shaking things up, while still providing a hearty dose of grains and fiber. Pair this dish with anything you would normally serve with rice, and I promise you won’t regret it.
