Delicious combo. I used regular couscous, I’m sure it tastes even better with pearl couscous. It took longer than expected to cook the zucchini. Also swapped peas for edamame for more protein 💪🏼

I -and my very picky husband- loved this! We added spinach and cucumber as well and it was 🤌🏼✨. First time trying couscous and will be trying many more recipes with it!
