Roasted Vegetable Couscous Salad (Vegan Mediterranean Recipe)

featured 24657

This easy vegan couscous salad is filled with roasted veggies, crunchy walnuts, raisins and a simple maple orange dressing! A perfect light & healthy meal or side that’s excellent for make-ahead lunches or dinners.

A white bowl filled with Vegan Couscous Salad on a grey background with a white napkin on the side.

This vegan couscous salad combines roasted vegetables, whole wheat couscous, crunchy walnuts, sweet raisins and bright fresh herbs for a flavorful, satisfying dish. A maple-tahini dressing with orange zest and a pinch of nutmeg ties everything together for a balanced sweet-savory finish.

The main work is chopping the vegetables, but the results are worth it: tender caramelized green beans and carrots, aromatic red onion and garlic, plus the texture of nuts and raisins. It makes a great make-ahead lunch, a light main when topped with a protein, or a colorful side dish.

Light but filling, this salad is ideal for the shift into warmer weather and stores well, making it convenient for busy weekdays.
