After all that heavy Thanksgiving food, what better way to start the week than with a delicious roasted vegetable and couscous salad? With a hint of lemon and some smoky roasted veggies, this makes a wonderful light dinner or lunch to pack for work. The recipe is meatless, but would taste amazing with a bit of your left over roasted turkey tossed in.
