This Roasted Butternut, Couscous & Red Pesto Salad is inspired by the colourful deli-style salads you often see at Woolworths.
Sweet roasted butternut is combined with fluffy couscous and finely diced vegetables, then tossed in a bold red pesto dressing made from roasted peppers and sun-dried tomatoes. Fresh parsley brings brightness while optional seeds or feta add extra texture and richness.
It’s a hearty grain salad that works beautifully for meal prep, picnics, or easy weekday lunches.
