Couscous Salad with Beets is a vibrant and wholesome dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. This salad features fluffy couscous combined with earthy roasted beets, fresh greens like arugula or spinach, tangy feta cheese, and bright citrus notes from lemon dressing. Often garnished with crunchy walnuts or pistachios, it offers a balance of textures and flavors. Beets are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins like folate, while couscous serves as a light source of carbohydrates. Healthy fats from nuts and olive oil enhance heart health, and the inclusion of greens adds iron and other key micronutrients. While the dish is nutrient-dense, portions of cheese or excess dressing may contribute additional calories, so moderation is key for those monitoring intake. Perfect for lunch or as a side, this colorful salad is both satisfying and good for overall well-being.
