Couscous Salad with Roasted Vegetables and Chickpeas | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

Listen up, people: This is one for the Dinner Hall of Fame. First of all it's healthy and easy (check, check). Trying to eat less meat? Check! But my favorite part is that it's the perfect thing to pack for lunch tomorrow, too. Half the trouble, double the fun. Oh, and did I mention it's pretty darn delicious? To get the ingredients for this meal, you'll definitely want to start in the produce aisle: Carrots, cauliflower, lemons, scallions, and arugula are all included in this veggie-heavy recipe. Chickpeas are a great meatless form of protein, and olive oil, cumin, and whole-wheat couscous round it out.
