Kale Couscous Salad
Oct 31, 2024 12:48 AM
This Kale Couscous salad is absolutely perfect for meal prep – it doesn't get soggy and it tastes even better after a day or two in the fridge!
It's packed with nourishing ingredients, like cucumber, mandarin oranges, chickpeas, pomegranate, feta, pickled onions and mint and tossed in a simple lemon vinaigrette.
Spoon salads, or scoop-able salads, are a personal favorite of mine. They're great to enjoy with some pita chips, but they're also just easier to eat than a normal salad! Everything gets finely chopped, so you can eat the salad with a spoon and get a little bit of everything in one bite.
Ingredients:
Salad
- 4 cups finely chopped curly kale
- 1 cup dry pearl couscous (~2 cups cooked)
- 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Total Time:
