What You’ll Need
For the Salad:

  • 1 box Boostcous

  • 1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

  • Olive oil

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1 tsp Zatar (can sub for paprika and garlic powder if you don’t have)

  • 1 bundle kale

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped

  • 1/2 red onion, chopped

  • 1 small jar sun-dried tomatoes (we’re going to use the oil)

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • Naan bread, pita bread, or pita chips for scooping (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • 4 tbsp oil from sun-dried tomatoes

  • 1 tbsp vinegar

  • 1 packet Greek Goddess dressing from Afternoon Foods

Step by Step

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.

  2. Make Boostcous according to package instructions, making sure to salt the water. Fluff after cooking to prevent sticking.

  3. In a small mixing bowl, drizzle olive oil over the garbanzo beans and season with salt, pepper, and Zatar. Toss until well coated. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Remove the stalks from the kale and blend in a food processor until it’s finely shredded.

  5. Chop the red peppers, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and parsley. Set aside.

  6. Make the dressing by shaking all the ingredients in a jar.

  7. Assemble the salad with the base of Boostcous, kale, and garbanzo beans. Mix in the peppers, onions, tomatoes, and parsley. Top with dressing and toss to combine. Serve with naan, pita, or pita chips to scoop and enjoy.
