This vegetable noodle salad is one of the quickest and easiest recipes I have shared in a long time, but don’t let that fool you, it is still super delicious! It’s perfect for a quick dinner (particularly if you have a few mouths to feed) or to keep you going for lunch for a week! Plus, it’s colourful which is always a plus in my books!
I seem to be eating a whole lotta pumpkin at the moment, but really, that’s a-ok with me! Anything with pumpkin in it seems to not only be delicious, but comforting as well, so I’ve been chopping and roasting it pretty much non-stop! That’s where this salad came from – hearty enough for me to take to work thanks to the base of both brown rice and lentils, plus with the flavour of the spiced pumpkin, it really is a winner! So here we go, my spiced pumpkin lentil salad!
My love of israeli couscous is well documented, and this roast vegetable israeli couscous salad is the perfect way to keep eating it all through autumn and winter! Packed with delicious roasted root vegetables this salad is simple but hearty enough to make both an excellent lunch or a side for dinner.
Israeli couscous is by far one of my favourite salad bases, it’s filling, slightly nutty in flavour and combines well with so many other ingredients. I first made this salad as part of a dinner for my folks and it was so well received I knew I wanted to whip it up again for some work lunches! So here it is, my herby Israeli couscous salad!
Whenever I make a salad with brown rice as the base I always feel like it needs lots of seeds and nuts to match the nutty flavour of the rice, and this brown rice pumpkin salad is no exception! Jam packed with walnuts, pepitas and sunflower seeds this salad is high on the crunch factor as well as full of flavour!
