هذه سلطة الكسكس النباتية is a simple and quick lunch that you can meal prep easily to make a week of healthy meals with over 26g من البروتين per serving!
I love making salads for my weekly meal prep! Salads don’t have to be boring, just try my سلطة تاكو نباتية or سلطة نودلز سوبا نباتية! They’re full of flavor and loaded with protein to keep me going for a whole day.
I wanted something different for this week, something with Mediterranean flavors but still with as much natural protein as possible. For protein, nothing beats chickpeas, but couscous is surprisingly rich as well. So I combined both in a simple and delicious recipe.

تعليمات
- Cook the couscous according to the instructions. Drain and cool it completely before using it in the salad. I like to let it cool for 30 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate it.
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, add the canned chickpeas, carrot sticks, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Toss to coat them evenly.
- Transfer the mix to a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes in the center rack of the oven until roasted.
- Let the roasted mixture cool down fully before adding it to the salad.
- Meanwhile, stir all the salad dressing ingredients together until smooth. Set aside in the fridge while you assemble the salad.
- If you are making salad jars, add the ingredients to each jar in equal portions in this order: salad dressing, roasted chickpeas, and carrots, cooled cooked couscous, cucumber, tomatoes, green peppers, and spinach.
- Store in airtight glass mason jars for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Place a plate on the open jar and flip the lot upside down to serve and toss to combine.

المكونات والبدائل
- Pearl Couscous – Also called Israeli Couscous. It comes in large pearls, almost as big as green beans but you can also use regular small couscous. For a high-protein gluten-free alternative, you can use quinoa instead.
- حمص حب – I use canned chickpeas for this recipe.
- جزر – Sliced in small sticks. You can swap for other crunchy vegetables.
- Olive Oil – Any oil works, but olive oil strikes a good balance of flavor and heat resistance when cooking the veggie.
- توابل – I used a combination of Paprika, Garlic Powder, and Cumin.
- خيار – I use English cucumber, but you can also use Lebanese cucumber.
- الفلفل الأخضر – Or any bell pepper you have.
- طماطم كرزية – I used cherry tomatoes from my garden. You can also use regular tomatoes, but since they’d need to be sliced, it might make the salad last less.
- سبانخ صغيرة – I love the taste and crunchiness of baby spinach, but you can also use arugula (called Rocket in other parts of the world).
- الزبادي العادي – I used coconut yogurt, but any plant-based yogurt works.
- أعشاب – I used mint, basil and cilantro, or parsley.
- عصير ليمون – طازج أو معبأ في زجاجات.
- معجون الهريسة – Harissa is a chili paste from the North-African countries made with peppers and many spices. It’s super tasty and brings some zing to the dressing. If you can’t find any, you can either make your own with a harissa recipe or replace it with Sriracha or Sambal Oelek, they are both chili pastes but with different spices.
- شراب القيقب – For a touch of sweetness. You can alternatively use agave syrup or coconut nectar.

نصائح لإعداد الوجبات
This salad is a perfect meal-prep lunch because you can make a large batch and divide it into as many servings as you want. Here are my tips to make meal-prepping easy:
- إذا كنت تستعد ل more than 5 days ahead, keep the dressing, cooked veggies, cooked couscous, and fresh veggies in different containers. Assemble when serving.
- Otherwise, place the ingredients in this order to maximize the shelf life: dressing at the bottom, cooked ingredients above, fresh ingredients on top, and lettuce or spinach over everything. This prevents the dressing from turning everything into a mush and allows the lettuce to be changed if wilted.
- Make jars that match your typical حجم الحصة!
Easy to prep and absolutely delicious!
