What a strange and delicious combination I’m about to feed you.
You’re looking at a beautiful, colorful, confetti-like bowl full of:
- 库斯库斯
- Sweet potatoes
- 黑豆 - 但任何种类的豆都很棒！
- 菠菜
- f
- 红葱头
- Pistachios – because I love them! but any nuts / seeds, or no nuts / seeds also work
- 石灰罗勒醋汁
You think it might lean Mexican-inspired with the sweet potato black bean thing…. but then there’s feta and red onion… and some pistachios… and the lime basil vinaigrette is where things get pretty solidly quirky.
它是那么好,那么营养(! !),那么怀旧.
I used to make this salad all the time way back in the day, featuring a bottle of pre-made dressing, because that’s what my trusty five ingredient Cooking Light cookbook recommended. I was youthful and new to cooking and I loved easy recipes (still true, actually). Now I’m less youthful, more opinionated about things like making your own dressing, and ready for the still-easy but slightly more grown up version of this salad.
You still with me?
Our dressing here is a punchy lime basil vinaigrette. Which is kind of a lot going on flavor-wise because lime and basil are both big flavors. But big flavors get two thumbs up from me.
You have alternate dressing options if you’d like to stay closer to home on this:cilantro lime vinaigrette(use this same method but swap basil for cilantro). lemon vinaigrette (看这里).
或者......你可以相信我，无所畏惧地犁进入罗勒 - 重物串品尝绿色敷料的土地。
Take a taste – do you need more of something? Salt? Oil? Lime? Basil? Tweak it till you get it just right and do not panic if it’s very very flavorful.
这将用一堆否则普通的蔬菜浸泡在一起，所以我们需要它是bossy。
Get all your stuff in a bowl, toss with dressing, salt and pepper, and muah. It’s summery, a little bit unexpected, and the best way to make lunch / veggies / nutrition / happiness all work together.

Loved this one! Perfect quick and healthy dish. Works well with a cheeky little bit of Parmesan too…
That was so delicious!! I roasted the sweet potato in the oven. Will definitely make again!
I was just wondering if roasting the sweet potatoes would be a great option too!
Yep, we think that’d be delicious!
I was the first to love this post !!!
I am going to make this tomorrow (only thing I dont have is feta, might use Indian paneer cottage cheese cubes instead)
听起来很美味！
This looks really tasty. Could you substitute quinoa if you are trying to keep it gluten free?
Sure!
Thank you for sharing this refreshing salad n dressing recipe
Really makes a difference
Delicious!! Will have to try them out
Lindsay., I made this salad today but used quinoa instead of couscous (because I didn’t have any on-hand), and I used Parmigiano Reggiano (because I didn’t have feta). It turned out sooooooooo fabulously and even Eddie likes it (although he pushes the sweet potatoes to the side). Such bold flavor with fresh basil and garlic. Kitty
So happy to hear this, Kitty!
Keep the healthy food blogs coming
昨晚昨晚送达了晚餐，以前从未成功，他们肆虐。我用arugala，因为我没有菠菜。烤土豆而不是蒸，只是因为我喜欢烤的东西。你猜怎么着？我完全忘了加上敌人！他们挥手道。（我也爱它。）谢谢。我爱你所有你和你的团队都是关于。
So glad this was a hit, Melinda!
Such a gorgeous salad!
Is this gluten free?
As is, this is not gluten-free because of the couscous. You could easily sub quinoa though to make it gluten free.
Made this today but used Quinoa instead of couscous and I subbed sweet grape tomatoes for the sweet potatoes. It was a hit!
好吃！
I’m happy I went food shopping yesterday and striving for excellence to revamp my diet because eating right is the best health insurance.
你可以替代奎奴亚藜以使它无麸质吗？
Definitely!
This salad is delicious! Tasty and very healthy! Thank you…
So glad you enjoyed this, Danielle!
I love your Every Post.
如果在整个星期内吃饭，是在室温下的水吗？当然，我会把它放在冰箱里，直到我离开工作，但在房间温度或需要加热时会吃什么吗？我从来没有蒸粗斯科斯，最近买了一些尝试......这看起来很美味！
吃这个沙拉冷或在室温下会很棒！
Just made this meal prep style for lunches. I used quinoa instead of couscous, just because I had it on hand. I’m OBSESSED. Already planning to make it again next week.
Yay! So happy to hear this, Karen!
I made this tonight with quinoa instead of couscous and a cilantro vinaigrette instead of basil… it was delicious!!
好吃！Glad you enjoyed this, Rachel!

I’m looking forward to making this! Does anyone have any recommendations on how to turn this into a dinner (without adding meat to the salad itself)? I’m gathering recipes that will be great for warmer summer nights, and this sounds perfect. Now I just need something to pair with it to turn it into a full meal, and I’m at a loss!
它真的不需要别的......它非常灌装，好吃！也许有些西瓜在炎热的夏天晚上吃饭......
你是对的，这是超级美味的，填补！完美的夏季晚餐。Basil Lime Vinaigrette是我最喜欢的敷料！
We agree – the perfect summer meal right here!
I made this recipe and took it to a friends for dinner…let me say it was a HUGE HIT! I also made your green sauce and I decided to mix the two for my lunch this week…oh my goodness, it was a killer combination! now I cannot wait to try your white sauce! keep those recipes coming. Everything has been delish!
我取代了昆虫的藜麦。在过去的几周里，我至少三次制作了这个沙拉。
This is so so good! I used quinoa to make it gluten free, radishes in place of the red onion, and to reduce time, frozen sweet potatoes, steamed in bag. The flavors are so fresh, will definitely be making it again!
百胜！喜欢在这里添加萝卜的想法！感谢您分享，利比。
哦，我的天啊。这是如此，很好！老实说，这是我生命中的第一次，我为“无肉星期一”做了一个菜，我并没有失望！我的丈夫持怀疑态度，但现在是我们家的新最爱！我是这个博客的常客，已经多年来，保持了梦幻般的工作！
Yay! Love hearing this, Melissa!
Ok I tried this – I did not even have fresh basil- used dried and it was SO good! Everyone in my family loved it! Thank you!
Glad to know dried basil works well, too! Thanks for sharing, Margaret!
This salad was amazing! The whole family loved it and I will definitely make it again, definitely a crowd pleaser. It was even great as leftovers the next day!
We agree! So yummy as leftovers!
