Israeli couscous with roasted vegetable salad from Joys of Life is versatile and delicious. Chewy pearls of couscous are tossed in a vibrant dressing with sun dried tomatoes and pesto before being added to a variety of roasted veggies. This recipe recommends zucchini, mushrooms, red pepper, squash and more but you can use whatever vegetables are fresh and seasonal. This couscous salad gets better the longer it sits so try to make it in advance, if possible.
