Warm Broccoli Couscous Salad

½ tsp black pepper

salt

olive oil

pistachios (or walnuts, chopped)

dill (large, chopped)

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet. Add the broccoli and chickpeas to the sheet pan, and then toss in the spices and olive oil until evenly cover. Roast until the chickpeas are crispy and broccoli is tender, approximately 20 minutes.

While the broccoli and chickpeas roast, make your couscous. Combine the couscous with the vegetable broth in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat and simmer covered, until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender. 

While your couscous cooks, make your dressing. In a jar, combine all listed ingredients, and shake until a smooth dressing is formed. 

In a bowl, add the couscous, then your roasted chickpeas and broccoli, followed by your herbs, vegan feta and pistachio. Pour the dressing over top, and serve. Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
