Summer Vegan Couscous Salad
Short Description:
A cold, refreshing pasta/grain salad is the perfect side dish for the summer. You likely have never been to a summer party without one! This vegan couscous salad is our healthy take on that cold summer salad. We love the salty olives mixed with the sweet tomatoes and hearty couscous! Enjoy this salad with our favorite organic, cold-pressed
Living Juice, Fresh Start to balance all the flavors with a tangy, refreshing lemon, apple and ginger juice.

- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
