Truly one of my very favorite meal prepped lunches! This Warm Roasted Vegetable Cous Cous Salad is the perfectly balanced meal that is packed with flavor, reheats well as leftovers and is super customizable! The goat cheese adds the perfect amount of creaminess and tangy flavor without it being too heavy.

Tips & Substitutions

  • To make this dish vegetarian, omit the chicken sausage and add an additional vegetable of choice.
  • The beauty of this dish is that you can completely customize what vegetables you include! I like to use onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and tomato, but other vegetables that would be great in this are broccoli, carrots, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potato - the list goes on! Feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
  • Feel free to use whatever flavored chicken sausages that you prefer! I love using roasted garlic chicken sausage or jalapeno cheddar chicken sausages.
  • I prefer to use cous cous for this recipe, but orzo would also work well.
  • Prepare your cous cous while the chicken sausage and vegetables are roasting so that its done as soon we they come out of the oven. It is important that you mix the cous cous, goat cheese, balsamic glaze and parsley with the roasted vegetables & sausage as soon as they are done so that the cheese melts easily with the warmth.
