QUICK AND EASY MEDITERRANEAN COUSCOUS SALAD
This sun-kissed couscous salad is packed with plenty of freshness, flavors, and color :)In only 10 minutes you can put together a mindblowing dish great for planning your meal prep, taking to work or picnics.
When it comes to packing meals and lunch boxes my favorite containers are LOCK&LOCK glass containers.
Kids love it too so it makes a great option for your little one’s lunch bag:) Couscous is a great option when you want to enjoy some carbs as it’s light yet satisfying.
I purposefully chose to use sun-dried tomatoes for this one not just because of the intense flavor they add but also because it’s a concentrated source of nutrients.
Sun-dried tomatoes are full of vitamins C and K, iron, and lycopene, an antioxidant associated with lowering the risk of cancer.
You can buy them dry or in oil (just make sure you drain them well). I also love to add them to many other dishes like soups, pasta or sandwiches to add some depth. Summer taste is guaranteed!
