I whipped this up on my way out the door this morning. I wanted something quick, easy, and filling that would use the over ripening cherry tomatoes I was going to have to throw away.
My mission was a success. I'm STILL satisfied and I ate this over 4 hours ago! I'm shocked!

Wow! I've been wanting another way to use your roasted tomato recipe (which I LOVE & it's now a staple with pasta). Can't wait to try this.

This looks fantastic!!! I make a lot of quinoa salads, but have shied away from couscous ones... thanks Roni!

I make something a bit similar to this all the time and it's delicious! I roast diced vegetables (usually pumpkin, bell pepper, zucchini, sweet potato and tomato) in the oven, then just mix them with wholemeal couscous and 1/2 cup chick peas, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and a good squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Highly recommend! 🙂
