Method
- Prepare the couscous according to packet instructions. Note: We recommend cooking it in chicken or vegetable stock to give it some added flavour.
- While the couscous is cooking, prepare the vegetables, and drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- To make the dressing, combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jar, shaking vigorously. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the dressing into 6 small sauce containers.
- To meal prep, divide the couscous among six meal prep containers. Then divide the chopped veggies and chickpeas into the containers. Add a lemon wedge, some crumbled feta, and season with salt and pepper. Once ready to eat, add the dressing, squeeze the lemon over the ingredients, stir together, then eat!
