Mediterranean couscous bowls are made with whole wheat couscous and are loaded with vegetables and beans. Nutty whole wheat couscous is topped with smokey roasted red pepper, earthy artichoke hearts, cool crispy cucumber, salty kalamata olives, and creamy vegan feta. The baked za’atar chickpeas amp up the protein and are a great compliment to the other Mediterranean flavors.
