This roasted vegetable and couscous salad is inspired by the Mediterranean and is easily adaptable. It’s largely hands-off as the oven does most of the work, and everything can be made in advance. You can use whatever vegetables you prefer, but I love a mix of aubergine, zucchini, red & yellow bell peppers, and red onion as my base. I often use this mix of roasted vegetables for a pasta sauce to which I just add tomato sauce and basil pesto or fresh basil.
Couscous is made from durum wheat semolina so is actually a type of pasta although it’s often thought of as a grain. I have used wholewheat couscous in the is the recipe because I prefer the flavour, texture, and added fiber it gives. You can use any couscous you prefer.
