Nourishing Couscous Salad👇🏼😍 Crunchy chickpeas, roasted pumpkin, parsley, red onion, cucumber, cranberries and sesame with a creamy tahini dressing. I made this nourish bowl style but decided to toss it all together, it was perfect and filling!

Serves 3
Roasted pumpkin:
500g butternut pumpkin, peeled and diced
Drizzle of olive oil
2 tsp smoked paprika
Generous pinch of salt and pepper
Roasted chickpeas:
420g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Drizzle of olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Generous pinch of salt and pepper
Tahini:
1/2 cup hulled tahini
Juice from 1 lemon (3-4 tbsp)
1 tbsp agave or maple syrup
Pinch of salt and pepper
Water to thin (3-4 tbsp roughly)
Couscous:
1 cup wholemeal couscous
1 1/2 cup boiling water or vegetable stock
Other:
1/2 red onion, finely diced (roughly 1/2 cup chopped)
1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped (roughly 2-3 cups chopped)
1/2 lemon
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1/3 cup dried cranberries or fresh pomegrante
1 cucumber diced
Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F. Add the pumpkin on one baking tray and the chickpeas on a separate baking tray. Add the olive oil and seasonings to each and toss to coat. Place in the oven (chickpeas on bottom rack) and bake for 35 minutes.
Add all the tahini ingredients in a small blender jug and blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, whisk them together in a bowl. Gradually add water to achieve your desired consistency, depending on the thickness of your tahini you may need more or less water.
Add the couscous and boiling water in a bowl, cover for 10 mins and fluff with a fork.
If you want to make one big salad, all everything to one bowl, or serve amongst 3 bowls. Add the tahini to a bowl on the bottom and top with everything else. Squeeze over some lemon juice and toss to combine it all together. Enjoy!
