big ass couscous spoon salad - by katie
Hell yes sisters, another salad that doesn’t suck. You do not need to suffer through pathetic, leafy, flavorless salads no mo! There’s so many better options out there!!
Take todays salad for instance. Shall we break her down?
pearled couscous: the elite couscous variety. so satisfying. little pasta boba. perfectly satiates the craving for some carbs in a salad (although I would never deny the right of a fresh sourdough crouton)
herbs > lettuce: eliminating lettuce altogether sometimes, is exactly what a salad needs. perfect example: greek salad. if she isn’t there to break the ice between other ingredients, or serve as the main character - drop it. in this case, herbs are the perfect substitute to bring life and flavor to the bowl.
fridge life: because there is no lettuce - you can have this salad hang in the fridge for a few days which means 1 big ass salad will last you lunches and dinners to come. and with all the chopping I’m gonna have you doing (sorry) thank god for that.
top with any protein: scoop up a rotisserie, and you have a full on dinner. cook up a steak, dinner. add tofu, dinner. the salad goes with anything you throw at her (and on her)
shovel-able: no lettuce, equals no fork. no fork, equals spoon. spoon equals better eating experience for all.
a big ass bowl: eating salad in a big ass bowl just makes the expereince better. trust. this is my big ass bowl.
