About Couscous salad with zucchini

Couscous Salad with Zucchini is a vibrant Mediterranean-inspired dish that combines fluffy couscous with sautéed or roasted zucchini, fresh herbs like parsley or mint, and a medley of flavorful additions such as cherry tomatoes, olives, and lemon juice. Often seasoned with olive oil and spices like cumin or paprika, this salad boasts a blend of light, wholesome, and naturally nutritious ingredients. Couscous is a good source of carbohydrates for sustained energy, while zucchini contributes fiber, vitamins, and hydration. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, and the fresh lemon juice adds a dose of vitamin C. While the dish is nutrient-rich, it can be moderately calorie-dense depending on the oil used, so portion control is key. Couscous Salad with Zucchini is a versatile and satisfying choice, perfect for light meals or as a side to grilled seafood or poultry.
