Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Pearl couscous
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil
  • 1/2 Cup Vegan mayo, I used Hellman's
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, grated
  • 1 Cup Sun dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 Cups Fresh baby spinach, julienned
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the couscous according to package directions.
  • When the couscous is done, remove from heat and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat. This is to keep the couscous from sticking together while it cools.
  • Put the couscous in the fridge to chill. Let cool completely. This may take 30 mins-1 hr.
  • When ready to make the couscous salad, whisk together the vegan mayo, lemon juice, agave, Dijon, garlic and a few pinches of salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
  • Add the cooled couscous, the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and dressing to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Serve immediately, or keep in the fridge until ready to serve!
