You know, I've only made couscous a few times, ever. Who knew that it could be so simple to prep. Forget pasta and rice. Compared to cooking them, couscous is almost an instant food. I can’t believe how easy it is.

When my 8-year-old sister asked me what it was I told her it was like baby rice. She thought is was so cute. That’s how I got her to eat a few bites before she saw that I put zucchini in it. It was over after that. (Oh no, something green!) She does love to help me with all of my craziness in the kitchen.

So what do you do with couscous? Well, there are so many possibilities here. I went with a salad for this recipe and you guys are going to love it. It was just one of those days that needed the smell of veggies roasting in the oven, you know what I mean?

Everyone loves that smell even those that don’t eat their veggies. I am kind of addicted to balsamic and I not only roasted the veggies in it but then I added more to the finished salad. What? It’s so good. I couldn’t help it.

Just trust me on this, you need this salad in your life. It is crazy delicious if I do say so myself.

As always, the recipe is available upon request, and I always give an upvote for the first one.
