Incredibly easy to cook, Israeli couscous does a great job of absorbing the flavors of the herbs and spices in this vegan salad recipe. Like traditional couscous, Israeli couscous is tiny nuggets of semolina pasta, but the nuggets run a bit larger in the Israeli version. Mixed with fresh kale, colorful veggies, herbs, and spices, it makes a delicious pasta salad that will keep well in the refrigerator for up to three days. Add some cooked chickpeas to make it a heartier meal. Incredibly easy to cook, Israeli couscous does a great job of absorbing the flavors of the herbs and spices in this vegan salad recipe.
