OMG I don’t think this could be more delicious. I subbed barley for the Israeli couscous because I didn’t feel like running to the store and it turned out fab!

I loved this! I used basil instead of mint since it was in my garden. Great combination of flavors!

Delicious combo. I used regular couscous, I’m sure it tastes even better with pearl couscous. It took longer than expected to cook the zucchini. Also swapped peas for edamame for more protein 💪🏼
